A is for APPLE!
Fall just isn't fall without a visit to the apple orchard, so our family tagged along with Aunt Mandy for her family's 8th annual Boo Baby Day. A lot happened that day. Let's see . . .
-Nora had her first cup of hot (warm) apple cider.
-Nora and Daddy visited the cow while it was laying on the ground. Nora was a little afraid, but not much. Later, Nora said "I want cow." Tim took her back over to see the cow, who was now standing. It was hilarious to see the look on Nora's face. She grabbed Tim's leg and would not let go. Nora - "There is no way this is the same animal we saw a minute ago! Save me Daddy!"
-Nora rode her first pony. (Not sure if she liked it or not . . .)
-Daddy and Nora slid down a pretty big slide. Tim went EXTRA slow as to protect his little girl, who looked totally bored. They tried again and went a little faster. Still no reaction from Nora. Only a couple more years before we try out a roller coaster. How old do you have to be for that?
-During the pig race, Farmer Seth was introducing the children who would be cheering for the pigs. Nora grew a bit impatient and yelled through the silence "GO!" It was very funny.
We had a really good time, and we ate way too many apple goodies. We had apple cider, apple pie, apple fritters, caramel apples, candy apples, apple doughnuts, apple brandy cake . . . I sound like Bubba from Forrest Gump. Anyhow, we will definitely use our apples for none other than homemade applesauce.
