Pick, Pick, Pick

Snurpee, Papa, H, and I headed out to Ochs Orchard today to fetch us some seasonal eats fresh off the trees. Unfortunately the rain clouds expected for tomorrow came early and put a damper on things as it rained on and off all day. Snurpee was happily bundled up in her too-cute Baby Bjorn and fleece cover. She looked like a super stylish caterpillar all wrapped up in her cocoon. After filling two quarter bushel bags with macs and golden delicious (for H's Thanksgiving pie), we headed down to the country store for some homemade ice cream, cider, and the store's specialty: apple cider donuts. Papa wisely refrained from snacking on one of these sweet treats. They are tasty, but super sugary inside and out. Tomorrow we will kick back on the couch for a lazy rainy afternoon with some warm cider sprinkled with freshly grated nutmeg. Snurpee's first apple picking trip was just one of the many family traditions we look forward to sharing with her as she grows up. Next year she'll be able to pick her own pumpkin for Halloween.

Swing Swing Swing!
