Apple picking makes me happy!
The trees were loaded with apples. I so enjoy seeing the different colors and varieties.
I am always impressed by how many apples even a small tree can yield.
The Fritter Shack was not open (sniff), but the fudge from the gift shop was as delicious as ever. (I didn't take a photo of the box because it was pretty well demolished by the time I thought of it.)
It is amazing how much things change in just three years...

I was happy that some planning enabled my girl to enjoy fresh off the tree apples, even with her braces.
I was also happy that the orchard brought out the same silliness in my boy as it usually does.
It made me so very happy that we got to share our ritual with my father and stepmother, who were up visiting.
Stop by and visit Leigh, as she has some beautiful pictures of what made her happy this week!
I love apples, too! Great pictures - - I can feel the crunch of the first bite!

Oh WOW, Andrea!!! Those photos of your kids are priceless. What a great thing to have! I think you should have them matted and framed together. So cute!
ReplyDeleteI think I know what an apple fritter is....do you ever make them yourself? Do you have a recipe?
What fun! Your kids are just plain beautiful--their personalities shine in those smiles!
ReplyDeleteAre pictures of homemade apple pie on the horizon?
Oh, it IS that time of year again, yes? Looking forward to going to our local orchard. And I love your son's striking of the pose. Very fancy.
ReplyDeleteYes, his pockets full of apples are stunning! He lets me take pictures of him as long as he is doing something silly...fine with me! :)
DeleteI love the "how tall this fall" measuring stick! I gotta find me an apple orchard!
