A friend and I took the kids out last week to pick some.
They had a blast! (Notice her pockets are full of those crab apples...I think the crab apple trees scattered throughout help with pollination. I really should ask sometime.)
Now that I'm finished scoring SATs, I need to get serious about drying, freezing, and canning apples in their various forms.
Then we'll probably go back for a second round of apple picking.
Between finalizing details on the building of our house (just signed paper work last night!), scoring SAT (done!), and coaching soccer (done!), I haven't had the energy to do as many apple crafts and collect as many apple books this year...maybe we still will...
I thought I'd share some of our favorite apple crafts and activities from last year, and hopefully I'll have some new ones to share soon.

Easy Apple Pie Toppers

Lucky! Picking apples is one of my favorite things about autumn. I don't enjoy preserving them nearly as much :)
ReplyDeleteDarling photos of your apple pickers. And hooray for signing the papers on your house!
ReplyDeleteWe went apple picking last weekend and I'm up to my ears. I had apple pancakes for dinner and then apple crisp for dessert (yes, when pancakes are DINNER, you still get to eat dessert). Apple sauce is on the to-do list, as is my mom's homemade apple pie!
