Apple Picking - Part Deux

Last weekend, when we started to feel the chill in the air and we had finished all of our apples we had picked previously, we headed back to the orchard for some more. "We" is defined as Aunt Susie, Ellie and me. It was a girls' afternoon out! This time the pumpkins were also out!


Ellie, now the master apple picker, did a great job maneuvering through branches to find apples at her height to pick. She also munched through a few herself! She really loved the trip to the orchard and seeing the animals again. As a side note, she also has become quite the cuddly little girl.


We opted to splurge and get a bushel of apples, previously we had only gotten a peck. Well, a bushel of apples (minus the ones Aunt Susie took home) for a family of three, is A LOT of apples. So I'm scouring my cookbooks for recipes involving apples!
