An Apple A Day (w/ Pics)

Friday morning, Auntie Wawa, PP and I hopped in our car and drove up to Emmett, ID to visit Candy Apple Orchard for a morning of apple picking! We met up with some of Auntie's friends, as well as a family from church (who were going with a homeschool group). The orchard had Romes, Red and Golden Delicious. Goldens were just what we wanted for making some yummy homemade applesauce! PP really enjoyed reaching up and pulling down the apples he could get to. We even ate a few while we were at it! It was a very enjoyable morning out in the sunshine. Yesterday, Auntie and I canned the apples we picked!
I was able to get 9 jars of applesauce and 8 jars of apple filling (to be frozen in bags later). I believe Auntie got about the same amount. We saved some just for eating as well.
It was hard work, but fun! And it was especially great doing it with someone, and in the fabulous kitchen designed especially for such a job!
