Fall Fun?

Saturday the kids and I, along with John's family, took the kids apple picking. We had a group of 12, and we were going this weekend specifically to pick the honey crisp apples, as they are only available for 2 weeks. Man, did we pick the wrong day for apple picking! It was 100 degrees out! Not fall weather AT ALL! Plus, due to the all the extreme heat we've been having, and very little rain, the apples were gross. They were all rotted and destroyed by bugs. We usually come home with bags of apples that we never get around to eating. This year, each kid found 2 apples worth taking home. It was so hot and muggy out, we didn't even stay to play on the huge playground. The kids were disappointed, but felt a little better this morning when I made toast with the apple butter I had picked up at the orchard.
