Today Nate & I made the trek to Eckerdt's in Belleville, IL to pick apples. It was a glorious fall day filled with sunshine and mid-70s temps while we were there. We are having a few days of Indian summer and I kind of like it. Cool mornings and warm days. Perfect.
After a short tractor ride, we arrived at the Golden Delicious apples. Nate did really well picking yummy apples, but not too many that I have apples coming out my ears. I am thankful. Last year, I think we came home with way more than we ever wanted to consume.
He was a little tired of my picture taking here...can ya tell??
Such a big boy - I've avoided counting the Fridays we have left where it is just the two of us because I'm sure the number would make me sad. We've had almost 5 years of Fridays and although we will all be beyond thrilled when baby sister arrives, I will miss our one-on-one time. I've been very blessed by my work situation to have spent this time with him.
This afternoon we made caramel apples. What is that odd mess in the center you say?? Well I had to cut off the skin of Nate's or else he wouldn't eat it. And of course he was so excited to eat them, I obliged.
