October 8 - Apples!

A few weeks ago I dragged the kids, almost literally kicking and screaming, to enjoy the outdoors on the last decent weather day. We went to a totally non-tourist apple orchard, Grandpa's Orchard. Turns out that kind of outfit is difficult to come by these days with everyone jumping on the fall-fun-photo-op bandwagon. Don't get me wrong, it was all about the photos for me too, I just don't like to pay premium prices for my country memories!
Pretty cute, huh? :) Seth was actually in attendance, but he was having a pre-teen fit about not getting to bring a friend and pouted the whole time. NOT a picture perfect attitude.
Action shot! Now I need to figure out a use for the 6 different varieties of apple we brought home. It's not quite enough to justify dragging out the canning equipment, but we're getting kinda tired of caramel apples, apple crisp, apple pancakes, apple bread, apple-upside-down beans...
