Apple orchard

Another fun activity I wanted to do with the kids this fall is go to an apple orchard.  There is one that just reopened south of Nashua, which is only a 20 minute drive.  We grabbed a 5 gallon bucket and set out in search of apples.  There were tons of them.  Unfortunately, most of them were either already on the ground or too high to reach.  I was determined to get decent ones off the trees, though, so we hunted hard, and I even climbed a tree and tossed what I could reach back down to the kids.  They had fun, and we came home with 21 lbs. of beautiful apples for only $8.  I'm excited to use them in all my favorite apple recipes, plus a few new ones!
