Picking up Apples





We have an apple tree in our front yard that produces alot of apples. Not ones really edible for human consumption but the deer around here love them. What I dislike about them the most is that they fall in the yard and make it look horrible, so last week when some friends were over playing I coaxed the kids into filling a whole garbage bag full. It only took the group (7 kids and 2 adults) about 4 minutes to fill the bag. I really appreciated the help! After the big kids were done filling the bag Finn and his friend Clark wanted to continue to pick up apples and throw them in the garbage, even when it started to pour down rain (yes, I said rain, August in Washington and it's raining....... AHHHHHHHH!)

They had a blast, who'd a thunk it? They were so cute!!
