Appleberry Farm

This afternoon the kids and I wanted some fresh fruit,
so we loaded up the wagon with the kids and a mop bucket
and headed over to Appleberry Farm. (Isn't that a delightful name?) The apples were hanging perfectly low enough for the young pickers.
Only Adam needed a little boost.
We picked fifteen pounds of crisp Empires before heading back.
For dinner we enjoyed apple donuts and cider from the farm store, plus some scrambled eggs and carrot sticks to balance it out. I don't know if serving donuts for a main dinner course makes me an especially good or especially bad mother. Either way, it was a lovely afternoon.

This is one of my favorite traditions! We always come home with WAY more apples than we need, because it's so fun to pick them!
And apple doughnuts for dinner makes you a GREAT mom!
