Apple Picking

Apple picking is good fun when you've got the right help. 


These pictures just make me smile. 
When I was up the tree she kept saying "careful daddy". What a helpful little two year old (if I can stop her eating them!)!

    1. That is the trouble, if I tell her she's had enough she grabs another one and runs away laughing!

  4. All 2 year olds (and older) should have the pleasure of apple picking. We country folk take these things for granted.

    1. We do! I remember reading the national trusts list for 50 things you should do before you're child is ten and one was eat an apple straight off the tree. My girls have certainly done that one !

    1. She tries now but she's only tiny so can't get very far luckily. Doesn't stop her climbing on everything else though!

  8. We've had a bumper crop this year! I've made two huge batches of applesauce; the first all got eaten, the second i'll freeze in small portions so we can enjoy it over the winter and into spring. There are more to collect, which we can use for pies or for eating right from the tree.

    1. I've hardly used any of these really. I should do more but time is slipping away and I need to get things done before our next baby comes along!

  10. We have many apple orchards here in North Georgia. They have barns by the road, and they sell apples and apple products in season. When my kids were little we used to go to the orchards and they let you pick your own apples. The kids always enjoyed it.

    1. ~I think kids and trees is always a good combination. My brother and I spent so much time climbing trees when we were younger, it was great fun. So much so that he became a tree climber!
