Apple Pickin'

So... grandma mentioned that our cousin & aunt had way more apples and pears than they could ever use or gather and give away and that we should go and get some. This sounded great to me because personally- baked apples is the main way I eat them. So we decided to head out and gather some apples and pears to put up for the winter.

After Javi took 1 bucket of pears up to the house and was headed up with the first bucket of apples (they live next door- which makes this super convenient) I thought to holler up for him to bring out my camera. I wanted to document our first apple picking adventure since Brandon came along- and in all honesty- the first time Javi picked with us too.

Anyway- we ended up with 2 buckets of apples and 1 of pears. We fixed enough last night to cook for tonight, and we have lots of work to do today to ensure a yummy winter!

Here are some pics!

Brandon had a great time. He was a wonderful helper!



















Brandon was proud of his harvest!







All that work will wear a boy out!
