Apple Picking - 2009


Every year we like to go apple picking up at Homestead Orchard in McHenry county. I believe the town is Woodstock. Anyway, we go to the same place every year because we know they have good apples and they sell our jams and jellies in their little store.

This year Mommy went and, due to her poor health, it probably wasn't a good idea. Not only did she not feel good but it was a hot day and that really drained her of energy.

The kids had a great time running around and taking bites out of apples to see if they wanted to pick more. I think we eventually settled on some Jonathans and another variety that I can't think of the name right now. Oh, and we picked some really large apples that are intended for cooking. Aura's mom made an apple pancake with them and it was very yummy.
