Saturday at the apple orchard

Last Saturday, Grammy Pammy and I took the kids to an apple orchard.  We went last year, and had fun, so we wanted to do it again.  Such a difference a year makes!  Last year was cooler and rainy and the orchard was not very busy.  This year the orchard was crowded and the trees fairly well picked over.  Never the less, we manage to fill a huge bag full of apples.  Grammy made a pie that evening, I've made baked apples and have taken some as snacks for after karate and we still have probably 10 waiting to be eaten.  Next up, an apple cobbler.  Yum!  The boys did well.  Marcus complained that he was tired, but he managed to walk around and climb some of the apple trees.  I sent Cale off down the rows to find trees with apples on them.  That was a great way to run off some energy.  The car ride back was interesting-tired, hungry boys do not make the best car riders.  But, I know they had fun and enjoyed being outside.  Something they'll remember.

Kella slept for part of the time.  The bumpy paths did wake her up.

Liam, so happy with his apple, which he ate as we walked.

Grammy, on the phone with Uncle Joe.



She woke up!
