If you guessed Apple Picking, you're right!! This was so fun! And it was a first for Madison. I was a little surprised when I realized she'd never been apple picking, but when I thought back to the last time we went, it was when we lived in Ontario and long before she was born. Time flies. Apple picking was a favorite Fall activity of ours when Todd was small. And it was something we planned on doing every year. It seems though that as our schedules have gotten crazier and busier, we've let go of some of our fun traditions and replaced them with other things.
So we decided this past weekend would be a great time to renew our Fall tradition and go to a local orchard and see what we could do. Once there, we put our best apple picking skills to work and ended up with a 1/2 bushel of
apples. Of course we had to taste each type of apple as we were picking them just to ensure we really wanted that particular brand. And so we ended up with a few apples of several different varieties. Each of us had a different favorite, so fortunately, that is what we went home with.We enjoyed a wagon ride out to the orchard, then a hay ride back in from the orchard. Once we'd picked our fill of apples, we stopped in the kitchen for an apple slush and an apple donut before we went home.
The weather was great... nice and warm with just a little "crisp" in the air. And the leaves on the trees were fabulous with all their changing colors.

Uh...maybe you stopped picking apples because you lived in Texas. Are there any apple trees here? You should've been citrus picking in March.
And aren't you supposed to be sending me one of those delightful apples? Was it mutsu? I'm assuming you sent one with Charlie's birthday gift. I can't wait.
