'Tis mountain apple season here!
And last Saturday, the kids and I drove to a little mountain town to take advantage of the harvest. It's been a tradition for years
And it was especially sweet to pass it down to the next generation this year
Sneaking a snack because apple picking is hard work
Her daddy taught her what to look for
And she eagerly picked
and picked
filling buckets
We picked 80# of Jonathon apples and a few Golden Wonders
In our opinion, the Jonathon apples make the best apple pies, baked apples, and apple sauce. I made baked apples the next day and the first batch, of many, of our favorite dehydrated apples will soon be ready
It was the best way to spend the day together
And hopefully the start of a tradition
for this little monkey
