Apples.

I'm excited to announce a change in our apple prices! Last Saturday when we were driving home from DC we decided last minute (read: "as we were driving past it on the highway") to stop at an orchard/pumpkin patch we always see but never visit.
Pearl had a cute outfit on and we had been meaning to get some apples for saucing and drying anyways so it was definitely worth the stop both in pictures and deliciousness.
Now I know you may be thinking, "But I thought they fasted on Saturday," and you would be right my friends. May I offer some advice, DON'T GO TO AN ORCHARD WHILE YOU'RE FASTING! It's awful, it really is. They had some guy out working a grill where you could buy hamburgers/hotdogs made at their farm. A lady was making fresh caramel apples right in front of us. People were chomping on apples right and left and there we were. Yeah, just don't do it, it's torture.
The price of their apples was supremely amazing though- $10/half-bushel was they biggest size they had so we got two bushels (one was for our friends though, I can't imagine we'd be able to eat/use 84+ pounds of apples before they went bad unless that's all we had).
All in all it was really fun- even while fasting and with the incessant swarm of giant armored beetles- yuck!
Here are some pictures for my (and possibly yours too) enjoyment. Notice how much nicer they are than IPhone photos?





Lots of fun! We might just have to visit this farm again next year when Pearl is old enough to actually enjoy things a bit more- although she did have lots of fun being carried around and put in weird places.
