First Apple Picking!

This is much earlier than we usually go apple picking but our good friends Sarah, Rich and Maya invited us along - so we couldn't resist. This is one of my favorite activities during my favorite time of the year - so I am willing to go apple picking as much as possible. It was interesting because we got to try different apples that usually are long gone by the time we go picking.

Seth took to it right away - picking apples and eating them straight from the trees. Yummy and fun!

Seth and Maya are too cute together - Seth talks about her often!

This is Jerald climbing a tree - we never really grow up - do we?



After we picked more apples than we could use - we headed to the "Hedge Maze."

It was a little harder than we thought it would be...

But we eventually found the end. Sarah, Maya, Seth and I were not interested in trying to retrace our steps out of the Maze. We took the "Emergency Exit" and headed straight for the yummy cider donuts. Rich and Jerald were determined and made it out in only 5 minutes! I am not sure how long it took us to get to the center - 15 or 20 minutes???
It was a great day and we have plans to make Apple Cobbler, Apple Sauce and Apple Chicken. Any other suggestions?
