Apple Picking

One of the ladies that I visit teach has an apple tree in her backyard. She called me the other evening to tell me that her tree was full of apples that needed to be picked. I assured her that Hoyt would love to go apple picking and that we would come by in the next few days. Two days later the weather was gorgeous and Ryon was home, so we went on a "family date" to pick some apples.

Hoyt on his way...let the apple picking begin!


The apples on the lower branches were Hoyt's favorite


Jett was happy to sit on a blanket with the apple basket - taking an apple out for every apple put in!


We're making lots of dried apple chips and apple pie filling at our house. I think I'm going to try applesauce as well, but haven't made it that far yet!





We had a fun afternoon and can't wait to have fruit trees in our own backyard!
