Once again we hauled everyone to the MacQueen's Orchard Apple Butter Festival. This year we got to pick some VERY large, juicy, and of course fresh Golden Delicious apples - our favorites. We always look for large ones that have just a hint of pink "blush" in the skins which makes them just a little sweeter. This year we lucked out.
They had these large crates in the aisles of the tree rows that they use to place the apples into for hauling. This one was tilted on its side and the boys wanted up on it. We got several pictures, but we love the natural happy smiles in this shot.
Alex has recently discovered the air guitar - or as he calls it, his "invisible guitar". This bad was called Bandera and they were pretty good. Alex, by the way, also plays a mean invisible bassoon. Seriously.
We made it back home with our haul - a half bushel of crisp apples. The challenge will be to eat them before they go bad. Becky already has plans for caramel apples and I may make a pie. My applesauce hasn't been very popular in years past, so I may take a break from it this year.
