September 4, 2010 "Steffen's Orchard"

Because of the bad frost last year, we were unable to go to the apple orchard. The weather was beautiful this year though, so we grabbed Memee and Grandpa Choo Choo and went.
We decided to bring the wagon this year so that the "widdle guy" wouldn't get tired of walking.Clara was so excited to get started. She thought she'd carry the box filled with apples. That didn't last long.James took a bite of the first picked apple. He loved it! As we filled the boxes, he liked to taste test every apple. Clara was a great help, picking all kinds of apples!The Jonathans and Galas were ready for picking. We were told that there was a mother dove and a baby dove in a nest nearby. Dale jumped to the chance of taking a picture. Just me, scoping out all the apples.In the end we had over 40 lbs of apples. We will make this a yearly tradition, as long as we don't have a bad frost.
