We went apple picking yesterday.. We do this every year at a orchard in Cornish Maine. There are a lot of orchards around (probably at least 20 within an hour of our home). Apple picking is a big thing around here and most families try to get out and schools do field trips. Anyway, we have lots of fun and we picked almost 3 full bushels this year so it is time to start drying and freezing them. Thomas found the biggest apple this year it is always a thrill to beat dad in the biggest apple contest. We all ate our fill of apples while walking through the orchard. This is the one of the best places to get apples because the trees are loaded all the way to the ground. We don't have to pick anyone up to reach Elsie could pick all she wanted to. The weather was perfect and we even go a few cute family pictures. After we were finished we stopped and bought vanilla ice cream and made apple dumplings the minute we got home. The girls were especially thrilled because they got to stay up past their bedtime to eat the apple dumplings. Oh Baby were they good.
