Apples

My mom and dad have 5 apples trees. And every year when they get enough apples, they juice them and get the best apple juice in the whole world. This year I asked mom if I helped pick the apples if I could have some of the juice. She said that I probably could have some even if I didn't help... But I wanted to help.
Karina and I picked this entire tree by ourselves!
(It is the smallest of all the trees and the other trees have a very contagious disease, so since I hadn't touched any of the other trees, I was assigned this one.) We got 3 big boxes and one bucket off of it!
Here is a collage of a bunch of us helpers. The horses loved to eat some of the ones that weren't suitable for juicing.
I had a lot of fun out there picking apples with everyone. And it sure was good to see you all!! Can't wait to get some juice. :)

Yummy! I tried to tell my mom to pick all of her apples for juice this year and she didn't. I've been craving fresh apple cider or apple juice for about a month now (*hint hint*)

BTW, I saw Lisa at the BYU show on Tuesday! I can't believe how much she's grown up!

Oh man, I'm jealous. What do you think the odds are that there will be a glassful left in January when I finally get to Utah? There's usually a lot, but man it goes quick.
