Apple Picking!
One family ritual completed for 2006 - we went apple picking! This is the third year we've gone - my sister is so awesome to plan it every year and the kids really look forward to it!
It was a short outing this year, we were only in the orchards for about 1.5 hours, then lunch in the field where the cars are parked. We got tons of great pitures of the kids in the trees! I was sad that we didn't get to go on the hayride or take the kids to the petting zoo area, but it worked out fine because my 2 year old started to get tired and cranky and she got to fall asleep in the truck on the ride home. Next year Miss D will be a little older and be able to put up with more and we'll make a longer day of it!
So now I have two humongeous bags of yummy fresh macintosh apples at home! I don't really bake but I make a mean apple crisp!!! And maybe we can convince my Mom to break out the rolling pin and put together an apple pie which she doesn't do very often anymore! YYYUUUUMMMM!!!!!

I DEFINITELY want our awesome apple crisp!!! I can't wait. Save me some apples. And I also want some pics. Those ones from last year were so incredible. I need a new one for my desk.

I actually took my kids apple picking yesterday as well.... we went to Applecrest - if you've never been, you should go up, even if not for the apple picking but for the festivals and corn roast they have every weekend. So much fun.... :)
Thanks for your well wishes, by the way.... I appreciate them. :)
