Apple Picking

We went to Battle's Cadron Creek Orchard in Guy on Saturday morning. Aunt Amy went with us -- this was her first visit to an orchard to pick apples. They were picking Arkansas blacks, Granny Smith's, and Fuji's.

Conall's class has been studying apples and will continue learning about them this week. He's been wanting to go pick apples all year and make an apple pie, so we figured it was a good weekend to go to the orchard. The closest one that was picking apples this year was Battle's.

We picked 30 lbs. of apples (plus Aunt Amy's 7 lbs.). We will be making apple pie and applesauce until they are all gone! Conall also picked a few Arkansas black apples to take to his teacher and teacher's aide tomorrow.

There were so many photos that I had a hard time choosing which ones to put on the blog, so I made another slide show (bear with me Pop Pop, but once you know how to play it, it isn't hard).

And, for Pop Pop, here are a couple of photos:
