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.
