Apple Picking







The weather was absolutely beautiful in Albany! We went apple picking at Indian Ladder Farms on Saturday. All the leaves were changing colors and the mountains in the background made it a beautiful setting. Once again, Emily was such a trooper! I was surprised by home small the apple trees were. There weren't little, but I expected something much larger. We thought the little baby apples were really cute- they look more like cherries. Mike and Michael had fun trying to get the apples way up high. We pulled the apples right off the branches and chowed down. Once we filled our bags we went to the bakery. No one had eaten breakfast so we could all pig out on apple cider donuts and chocolate milk! Later that day Mike baked an apple pie and apple crisp--and then we pigged out again! (Is everyone catching on to a common theme of this trip?)

Sounds yummy. I didn't know that you all were so domestic! I'm impressed!

Once again, Michael comes through with the baking. I really miss his enjoyment of cooking - I hope he comes prepared to cook during your Christmas visit!
