It's That Time of Year!

Yesterday we took our annual trip to the apple orchard.

This year we ventured out to another county and a different orchard. We were able to chat with the wife of the son of the owner. (Did you follow that?) They are the 7th generation on the farm and she was telling us how her mother-in-law has the original deed for the property and it was signed over from King George. LOVE that kind of genealogical history!!
No I didn't have a 4th child, Jake brought a friend.
We were able to pick red and golden delicious off the trees, and some were over a lb. each!! They were huge!
I made a pie using only 3 of the apples.
After apple picking we went to the Devil's Backbone Brewery, had a small bite to eat and a drink.
Then we went to the grocery store, bought some ice cream and found a place to sit and enjoy that!!
It was a simple day, but we all had a great day!
