Apple Picking

Fall started early around here; instead of spending Labor Day weekend soaking up the last of the summer sun at the pool, the cool, crisp weather called for a trip to the apple orchard.
As always, it was picture-perfect. Apparently the local news thought so too, and a reporter asked to follow us around and we all got to be on T.V.! (Note to self, Mom: never, ever skip the makeup...)

We ate I mean picked tons of apples...

In our matching outfits (! is it any wonder why the reporter picked us?!)

And played around in the orchard for quite a while...
(Jamie, I'm still pondering your idea to start off MRD's college funding by starting her modeling career asap! Just saying.)

Before heading home to make apple muffins, apple pie, applesauce, apple pancakes, apple turnovers, apple jerky...

Okay, not apple jerky. Just threw that one in to see if you're paying attention.

Happy Fall, y'all! Ready or not!
