Hard to believe but we have been apple and pumpkin picking here in Maryland 4 years in a row. Last year we took a break from our usual Larriland Farms, but decided it is the best place for us. Yes it is busy and not the small personal family orchard experience, but it has great apples, lots of fun for kids, and delicious apple fritters. Had to do a repeat performance of our kids and pumpkins in the wheelbarrow. Still so cute, buy my how they have grown!
We went this year with some dear friends that we see too little of. Mike and John belong to Meredith and Jeff and they are really close to the ages of Bridger and Larsen. It was lots of silliness with the four of them. It was IMPOSSIBLE to get everyone to look at the camera together, but here are some attempts.
The Dads spent much of the day debating how best to make an apple pie. Bake it already, the rest of us just want to eat it!
Here are more annual pics of our adventures while apple picking. We ended up with nearly 30 pounds of apples. We had an apple galette last night. We had pork chops with a delicious sauce with cooked apples in it tonight(Thanks Matt for both!). My job is to look into making applesauce. I think we will be set on apples until at least November!
