Apple Picking

We went apple picking last Friday. This has become a yearly tradition and we really like it. This was our fifth year going. We definitely go for the memories as much as for the apples.

The first year we went to Edwards Orchard in Poplar Grove, IL. After two years of trying other places, we have returned there both last year and this year. They have a nice orchard, a wonderful store with lots of "goodies", a good place for the kids to play and the people are friendly and down-to-earth.

Here's what we picked:


Here's some of the fun we had along the way:

I love your littlest apple picker!
I have NEVER picked an apple off of a tree that I can remember.
Do you make cider?

Mrs. Mo-- I don't make cider, but we bought two gallons at the Orchard. Does that count? :D
