apple picking


The weather has been so nice here lately. Mid 70's. Cool breeze and sunshine. As soon as the weather starts feeling like fall, I start thinking about camping. An activity our family loves to do.
Our school support group has a camping trip planned for next week. Can't wait.

Our fieldtrip for this week was apple picking. Such generous people to let us pick all we want for free. The children always love it. Dan and Charlie had a great time picking apples up off the ground and putting them in their sack. Most of those apples were rotten, so they got dumped out. Then they would just fill it up again.
Then their attention turned to eating apples. Eating---one of their favorite all time activites. That fun lasted until Charlie bit into a rotten one. You should have seen his face, when he tasted that. Yuck!!

We got lots of apples. I see applesauce, dehydrated apples, apple cobbler,and sharing with others, in store.
The man also has a pond stocked with white catfish. They were fun to feed. What a nice day.
Hope you all are doing well. Talk to you soon.
