Harvest time

A few weeks ago A went on his first school field trip. What?! Where does the time go?! They went to an apple orchard and picked apples and learned all about how apples grow. We've been going as a family since he was in the belly, so of course we had to go again as a family. Here are a few highlights. 

There's a nice one!

We carried the apples out, he lead Fella. 

Some wheels to help carry the bounty. 

And of course, a donut finish!

Apples and More Apples

Last week I posted a menu that was mostly fantastic. A ate everything without complaint, though unfortunately the sweet potato quesadillas were a little lack-luster. But let me tell you that kid can eat some sausage with apples and cabbage. Lucky for us we have leftover pumpkin soup (recipe winner for the week!) so this week will be easy for dinner. 

If we do need something beyond leftovers, we have 30 lbs of apples to eat. Yep, you read that right. Thirty. And here begins the picture installment from our adventure to Carter Mountain today...

Look at this view...
