Sunday was the perfect day to go apple picking. Matt had just finished running the marathon and was a real trooper when I told him we were not going to pass up the marvelous weather. The last few weekends that I have wanted to go it has been raining, so I told him to buck up and pretend that he didn't just run 26.2 miles, we have apples to pick. Not my fault… blame mother nature.
When we got there I took out my camera and realized the battery was dead. I gave Matt a spanking because, doesn't he know HE is responsible for making sure the battery gets charged? So we used the little camera that Emily brought along.
Don't worry , I yelled at her to get out of the tree after I took this.
Ava was fascinated by the donkeys. Maybe I should buy her one for Christmas. I'm serious.
The apple orchard requires that you purchase 20 pounds of apples if you pick your own. Emily had that secured in about 5 minutes. She would pick apples all day long.
Ava just wanted to eat apples. This one hit the ground several times and I am pretty sure some grass was eaten as well. It's all organic, right?
So, the look on my face here…… I was trying to not squint and still smile. FAIL.
We had such a great time. I am so glad Brent, Joanna, and Keaton were able to come with us. Now I just have to figure out what to do with twenty pounds of apples.

I can make apple sauce and can it for you. You and Joanna ate a bunch of home made apple sauce when you were babies!
