We went apple picking this weekend and had a little local family fun. Last year we went to Chelan, but unfortunately with the wildfires blazing there, we didn't want to take that chance. We visited a little farm in Sedro Wooley about an hour north of us called Jones Creek Farms. My hubby even made me an apple crate for our table centerpiece out of an old pallet.
We were first greeted by a protective puppy watching over his hen who had just laid an egg.
There was also a small playground for the kids to goof around on including the coveted tire swing and homemade teeter totter.
There were pears, apples and the beginnings of pumpkins growing - but we were there for the apples. This year we only brought home 12 pounds. I know it sounds like a lot, but I have major baking plans - and we might fall short!
After a full day of playing, I heated up some apple cider - but put them in special apple cups (I used a melon baller to scoop out the insides of our recently picked apples).
I always love to get a Fall picture of the kids. Here's "the one" from this year...but my favorite is from 2009:
They've changed so much!!!
