staycation ‘09 (part 4)

The next and final leg of our staycation was going apple-picking at Butler’s Orchard. I hadn’t gone apple-picking since I-don’t-even-remember, and it was William’s first time. So we were looking forward to doing something new with him. Unfortunately, Bill was MIA since he had to work again.

I don’t think we were there for more than an hour though. I didn’t want to get too many apples and not know what to do with them cuz I ain’t no Betty Crocker. I had an apple crisp recipe I wanted to try, but that was about it. They didn’t have any Gala apples, which are the ones we like. So all we picked were the Jonathan apples, which are really tart and supposedly good for baking, but we didn’t like them… or the apple crisp for that matter. I’ll have to try the apple crisp again with other apples or just find another recipe. Anyway, long story short, here are some highlights… =)
