How 'bout them apples

Over Columbus Day weekend, we went apple picking with my mom.
We went to a cute farm where they had apple trees as far as the eye could see, pumpkins, turkeys, goats and hay bales for the kids to climb.
We were given what Sophia and I like to call Johnny Appleseed bags to fill with apples. I also grabbed a cart in case the apples got too heavy. And I'm glad I did -- we picked 110 pounds of apples! Yes, I said 110 pounds of apples! We were having so much fun (and had never picked apples before) that we didn't realize just how many we had picked until we placed them on the scale.
So far, we've made six apple pies, an apple tartan, two apple crisps, applesauce and apple muffins. And we still have a lot of apples left. Good thing they last a while.
