"Apple Gathering"

We had such a fun time at our mom's group on Monday. I had been looking for an apple orchard for the kids to pick apples, but didn't have any luck in the Oklahoma City area. I know apple picking is a great autumn tradition in many areas, and sounded really fun, but...... I guess not in this area. We decided to make our own apple gathering. We decided to have the kids grab for apples out of a bucket of water. We talked about the apples first. Talked about their color, size, and different features of each, then they got to pick the apples out. The kids had so much fun doing this. Everyone wanted to take another turn. Mrs. Gaylee also read a couple of books about apples to end our apple exploring day! Of course we got to eat the apples with our picnic lunch as well. I also got some great recipes using apples that people brought, can't wait to try them out. A big THANK YOU to Gaylee for opening her home to us all. Thank you, we had a lot of fun!
