Orchard visit #1 for everyone!

We decided to do some apple picking this past weekend.  We went to a local orchard where we could pick our own apples and see some animals.  It turned out to be a beautiful afternoon, albeit a bit cold.

Maggie also got to try out her new coat!  We wanted to pick about 1/2 a bushel…we ended up with 30 pounds.  Kole thinks it was about 200%  more apples than we needed.  We canned 3 batches of pie filling – that’s 21 quarts, my friends.  Yes, 21 apple pies.  Just so you know, if you invite us anywhere in the next year and a dish to pass is required – we are bringing pie.

(Some of these look like a weird color because they're in the old blue Ball canning jars.  We didn’t mess things up…really!)
