Apple Picking!

This morning we took Jack apple picking at Barthel Farm in Mequon, the same place we've picked strawberries the past few years.

It was a cool, damp, cloudy day (we had to get Jack's fall jacket out!) - but the picking was good! And there were quite a few other people picking as well.

We picked all different kinds of apples. Some just for eating, some just for baking, some for both, some we'd never even heard of before!

It was a lot of fun. Jack was really good the whole time. He helped pick and even put a few in the bag. He ate one or two also! He ran around the apple trees and looked at the pumpkins.

We came home with a "bushel" of apples - so as soon as we were in the door I started peeling and cutting! So far I've made two apple pies, an apple crisp, and a large pot of applesauce. That's all I could handle for one afternoon! But we still have tons of apples left so there will be more baking in the days to come.
