Apple picking!

One of my favorite things about fall is family apple picking! The Lord blessed us with a wonderful opportunity to pick apples for free! We love going out together to an orchard and picking all the apples we can find. The trees were heavy with fruit this year, big, beautiful, juicy apples, just waiting for us to come and pick our fill. Here are some pictures from our wonderful day!

Such a blessing from the Lord

Where did you go? One of things I missed alot when we moved out here to California (21 years ago!) was apple-picking... and just "Fallishness" in general. Looks like you had a great time!

Jenny,
Yes we had so much fun! And yep, that is a ton of apples! A huge blessing!

Mrs. McCracken,
We went to the Dan Gamel ranch way up in the mountains, it was a blast. I think Fall is my family's favorite time of year! We love what you call "Fallishness" ;)

Rebecca,
Yes it was good to see you too! I'll look forward to seeing some waterfall pictures!
