The girls and I went to the apple orchard last Sunday with the girls' Brownie Troop. Man, do we have apples. This is going to be a photo post, so apologies to anybody on dialup. Here's Morgan, a happy apple harvester:
Emma didn't want to pose, she was on a mission. She ended up collecting nearly twice as many apples as Morgan. Here's Emma's back on her way to find more:
Here's the entire troop (plus one Brownie's brother), on a break from picking apples:
We had an absolutely gorgeous day for it. I thought that this picture with the Honey Golds on the ground turned out especially well:
After we had way more apples than we really need, the girls all played on the hay pile:
And then they went through the shrub maze.
The girls all agreed that the maze will be harder once the shrubs are taller.
Then we finished up the afternoon with a hayride:
We had a great time. But we're a little appled out. We've had an apple crumble, an apple crisp, and just plain apples. I've given some away to friends. And we may make the rest into applesauce and freeze it, just out of sheer self defense.

Looks like lots of fun!!! I have gone apple picking with a couple of my friends for the past 3 years now. I always have a blast, but I also have so many apples. This year I made 4 apple crisps and had some left over to eat and I just froze the 3 extra apple crisps.
Thanks for sharing such adorable pictures.
We usually have our share of apples, too. This year we made about 10 1/2 pints of apple butter.
Apples dipped in Caramel are woderful!
What great pictures, and wonderful memories~~ Apples are one of Kane's favorite foods!!
We finally made it through the apples. We gave some away, took them in our lunches, and only ended up freezing one apple crisp!
