I was all ready to curl up on the couch, with knitting in hand, movie marathon list to go, and copious amounts of tea to drink, when it stopped raining, and the sun tried peeking out!
Not wanting to waste the warm days that we have left, the couch was abandoned, and the apple orchard beckoned!
Here is Ky and Shawn entering the apple orchard. I have taken this picture, baby and dadda holding hands as we go into the orchard, every year since she was two! When I asked Ky to hold her Dadda's hand, she rolled her eyes a bit, but did not argue the fact, she knew it was a no-win situation!
Here is the tree that we descended upon to pick our glorious bounty! (Sorry, national pirate day was yesterday, and I just have not seemed to be able to get that out of my head yet!) There was one other tree we picked from, but sadly we forgot to take its picture! :( Sorry tree!
Just two trees, and about 20 minutes later, we had about 70lbs of apples, and Momma said, "Enough!" That's a lot of apples to process! Then many suggestions of what Momma could make everyone was listed several times, until paper was at hand to make sure none of them were forgotten! :)
We decided to stop at a local farm stand/market/deli, and grab some lunch, fresh veggies, and news update!
We took our lunch, and ate at the local docks, where we watched the rain come back in...
So, we did manage to have dinner, and a movie, while Momma knit, and Dadda sketched, and everyone had tea, at the end of the day!
