Apple Picking and whatnot~

Well I have been pretty slack lately but I guess by the time I get home from work the last thing I want to do is sit at the computer....We have been pretty busy and this weekend isn't any different. Can't complain though bc we have enjoyed all the things that keep us busy!

Last Saturday a group from our Church went apple picking. We went to Princeton NJ (what a lovely snobby little town). When you live here, without a car, it is a really big treat to escape to SUBURBAN HOOD for a while. It took about 2 hours to get there and it was a nice, scenic route. Our friends had just gotten back from India the day before so it was cool to hear all about there trip.

Once we got there it was just a free for all....We went with our buddies and leisurely walked around and ate the apples before deciding if we wanted to pick them to bring home. Gabe ate a million apples and in each picture had an apple in his hand. Our friend, Bryan, was getting sick of actually eating them so he would take a bite, taste it, and spit it out....he would then pass the apple around so we could all taste it. Crystal and I would just steal a few bites here and there. We picked a ton of apples (about 10 pounds;). When our other friends Andrea and Aubrey joined us trouble began. Aubry attracts the bee's....Gabe and Andrea both almost ate one as they opened there mouth for a big bite of apple and noticed the bee flying towards them. We all escaped unharmed though!

We then went to the farm and had apple cider doughnuts, went through a corn maize, pet a horse, saw a gross dog (Gabe pet him before he saw the nastiness on the dog- sorry no pics of that) And then made our way home....
It was a really good day! And again so nice to be out in the country.

Here is Gabe, Bryan, and Crystal.....the first taste test,


More of the gang, Gabe's apples is hiding behind someones back.
