Yesterday we joined our friends, the Wyss family, at a local orchard for some apple fun. At first, the littler ones had trouble finding any apples low enough to pick, but then enjoyed using the long apple pickers. We had a little trouble identifying some
of the varieties we ended up with, but think we came away with Empire (the kids said they taste like bananas), Golden Delicious (that one we're sure of, at least), Northern Spy (possibly), and Granny Smith (pretty sure about that one, too).
Half the fun was sampling the different varieties, as Sam is doing here.
Patrick peruses the shelves of honey while he holds his chosen Indian corn. The little store at the orchard also sold cider, honey, pumpkins, etc. We bought some of the local honey with the comb. The boys were fascinated that the honeycomb was edible.
Sam was eager to use some of our apple as table decoration. They do look pretty in a wooden bowl.
