We decided to take the kids to the Apple Orchard in Idalou so that Shaleigh could see exactly where her favorite fruit came from. Lee, Kristie, Shaleigh, Landon, Preston and I took off for an adventure. Do you know that if you look for green apples or yellow ones you can't tell just by looking at them whether they are ripe or not so we decided to go after the red ones. After all if they have any yellow or green on them guess what they aren't ripe. Lee was the first one to find the red apples so the kids took off running to get to the right area.

Want to talk about apples they were everywhere...the trees, the ground, and in the kids mouths. They had so much fun picking the apples and eating them before they could put them in the bucket.
