Apple picking




This weekend we drove to Carters Mountain to go apple picking. The kids have been asking for weeks when we were going to go. They love it. It always takes forever to get up the mountain but once we do it's worth the wait.














The rule was you had to be able to carry your bag of apples. Except for Norah - she would've brusied all her apples very quick. We picked close to 70 lbs all together. Yesterday I made 6 batches of applesauce and we made a gluten free apple pie that was really good. We've also had apple waffles for breakfast. And Brent has requeted a non-gluten free apple pie
 
Joel carried Norah around for a little while leading her to branches so her highness could reach and pick them.  He can be so sweet sometimes.
Then we went to the farm to spend the night.  When we were planning this weekend we had always planned on stopping by the farm. We didn't realize that on  Friday papers would be signed selling the last of the farm.  It was a nice stop to begin to say goodbye to the farm. 

We have one month before the closing date and plan to get back to the farm for one more weekend.

Its going to be hard to say goodbye to this place.
