Apple Harvest 2011



My mother has a small apple orchard with one lone pear tree. Every year we have to harvest those apples and the one lone pear tree. To get this done without a lot of work on our part we have an apple harvest party. Friends and family are invited.

Food is served.


Apples are picked.

Pies are baked.



Cider is pressed.

Everyone goes home with a box of apples and a jug of cider.

This year was extra special because I had my kids home.



Oh no, more posing...

What fun! And by the bridge. Good thing it wasn't windy. :) I hope you saved some apples for the goats.

What a great ritual to have in your family! Apples and cider are such an October tradition for us too. Looks like you all had fun and good food.

What a great fun family harvest! I am so disappointed that I didn't have a single apple this year.
