Today was one of those gorgeous fall days that you wish could be year round, 75 degrees and lots of sunshine! We decided to visit a local apple orchard where we can pick our own. This was a great experience for the girls, something they've never done before.
We were told we could taste test the different types of apples to compare tartness and sweetness or juiciness, to help us decide what type we want to pick. Emma took that to mean she should taste test every apple she picked with one bite, then place it in the box.
We came away with lots of apples, more than we'll probably consume ourselves. I guess I'll be busy the next few weeks with making applesauce, apple crisp, apple cake, apple pie, apple muffins, apple.... if you have any new recipes that involve apples, feel free to forward them to my e-mail. 
Oh, and we picked out a pumpkin to carve. They think I'm going to make pumpkin pie out of it. That will be a new experience for another time.
