Apple picking

We had a great time with some good friends on Friday at the apple orchard. The kids had a blast running up and down the rows of trees and picking apples. It didn't take long before our bags were full. The kids wanted to continue to pick but we already had more than we needed. Today the girls and I decided to make some applesauce. I peeled the apples and cut them off the core and Ella chopped ALL of them up by herself. She was so proud and did such a fantastic job. Maddison added the water and sugar. I normally don't even like applesauce but this was GOOD. Something about making it yourself and about it being warm. We had it with dinner and the entire batch is gone. We are going to make more again tomorrow. I still have plenty of apples left to make a apple crisp or something of the sort. I love this time of year.
