We enjoyed eating lots of fresh picked fruits and veggies this year. While I don't think that I took any pictures of our garden at home this year we did pretty well (with our Rubbermaid buckets). We had lots of lettuce, strawberries, zucchini, and tomatoes. We also enjoyed picking blueberries in Cape with MaMa Dewrock and we pulled Daddy away from studying the other morning to pick some apples in Mexico, MO. The kids love eating the stuff that we grew and/or picked. We ended up with lots and lots of apples so what are we to do..... make an apple pie. I wasn't sure how it would turn out with myself and both kids in the kitchen while Ricky studied but it was a SUCCESS! It was delicious and we ate it all in just a couple of days. The apples are supposed to last in the fridge for quiet some time so I'm hoping to make another. I'm trying to make myself wait until after I fit in a bridesmaid dress in two weeks : ) Here are some pictures from our fun.

| Picture after blueberry picking. It was very hot so the kids are very sweaty and yes that is two huge bags of blueberries and a box full. |
 |
| It was such a fun place. They let us use their golf cart to drive to the apple trees. Obviously the kids thought this was cool. |
 |
| Delicious! Avery Lynn enjoyed an apple while picking. |
 |
| Caden has no problems finding "good" ones |
 |
| The trees were a great size. The kids could reach and pick the apples without much trouble. |

| Proof that we made it! Yummy! |
Any snakes at the apple orchard??? Or do snakes just like blueberries? Glad the kids had fun. Pumpkin Patch next!
