Apple Picking '09

Every year we head up to North Scituate to pick apples at Sunset Orchards. We've been going with John & Tati since the boys have been babies. Then Sara came along a year later and she joined the crew too.

This year John P and Jesse didn't go with us. John P was busy working and Jesse wasn't feeling so great so he chose to hang at home. We brought him home apple cider, which he loves, so he was just as happy lazing about and still getting his cider fix.

Because of all the rain we had this summer, the apple crop this year was amazing. I've never seen so many apples on one tree. The orchard also has peaches and pumpkins too.

We were there for these babies.....

Sara demonstrates the two fisted eating method.

Tati likes to eat hers hiding inside the apple tree.

Evan likes to channel Popeye while he's eating.



John likes to act like he's 12 again.

What is it with men and boobs??

Please don't answer that.



Evan must constantly make goofy faces.....

..and Sara delights in joining him every chance she gets.

After all the goofines was over, some actual apple picking took place.










We picked 25 pounds.

Tati & Sara picked 35.



I don't think I even have to tell you to prepare for some apple recipes.
