We went out and visited with Grandma, then we sat down in the living room and read a book about harvesting apples. We learned how apples grow and then how they are harvested. We even learned the proper way to pick an apple.
Then we headed out to the "apple orchard" in G-ma's yard. Grandma watched from the window seat in the pink bedroom.
The kids both wanted to pick the crab apples, but were convinced to come and pick the sweeter red and green apples.
Emma wanted to climb the tree, so she tried.
Then we picked up apples, saved the best ones for ourselves, then lined up the rest and measured how long both of the kids were. Emma loved every minute of it!
And Derek lost interest in apples the moment he saw water swiftly flowing down the ditch. Rock after rock was thrown in. Until of course he discovered that if he threw in a stick he could race it. Oh the joy in his face as he fled down the length of the ditch. Who needs technology when you have a stick and a ditch! Much better entertainment.
