Apple Picking

I've done the corn maze thing and I've done the hayride thing.  I've never done the apple picking thing.

Until today, that is.

There is a big apple orchard/pumpkin patch 45 minutes from our house, so we set out just before lunch.  On the way there, my husband commented that it looked rainy.  I assured him it was not raining because the radar on my phone showed no precipitation near where we were going.


By the time we arrived, there was a pretty substantial, though misty, rain falling.  Awesome.

Being 132 months pregnant, I decided a trip to the bathroom was in order before we ventured off into the orchard. When I got back outside, the rain had stopped.  Awesome!


We bought our bag and ventured off into the orchard.  We left with a 1/2 peck bag of fruit. 

Now comes the million dollar question...

What should we make?

  9. Just clicked over to your blog from Kim at ilaxstudio because you mentioned Central Illinois in a comment over there. I used to live right next to Curtis Apple Orchard! I miss their apple pie so much!
