We went apple picking last weekend and I am totally feeling nostalgic because this weekend we are drowning in rain.
I’ve never been apple-picking before for several reasons. First, we have never lived in an area where the land was such that it could sustain an entire apple orchard (One or two apple trees in a yard, yes. Orchard? No.). Second, we had friends back in Saskatoon who gladly supplied us with more apples than we could ever want for free.
So when I saw the price tags of our idyllic apple-picking adventure I may have cursed. Loudly. But still, it was a lot of fun. The only disappointing part was that the picking is over way too quickly. All that’s left after that is to eat as many apples as you can so as to get more apples for your $25. Between the four of us we definitely ate another $25 worth. It’s amazing no one vomited. Seriously. AMAZING.
Kieran literally walked between the rows of trees picking up apple after apple off the ground and taking one bite before letting it drop and moving on to the next one. Awesome.
OMG. Couldn’t you just DIE from the cute?

Oh, and how much did you get to pick for $25?
