Today the Prather family went to the Apple Butter festival in Idalou. All the proceeds benefited the Boys Ranch. I've been wanting to take the girls out there- just glad to have a good excuse. There were lots of families out there.
Caroline got a chance to pick apples for the first time.
Fun Fact:
We found out that this orchard was the only certified organic apple orchard in Texas.
The apple trees seemed more like apple bushes. Caroline had no problem picking from the trees. There were about 200 rows with about 30 trees on each rows. The guy handing out plastic bags told Caroline that if she picked a bad apple to throw it on the ground.
Caroline took this very serious and chunked any apple deemed bad as hard as she could. Her and her daddy played a funny game when we got home where she picked up pretend apples and either kept them in her basket or threw them across the room.
Ali squealed with delight when Caroline threw the apples. She really wanted to get a hold of one of those apples.
Some other things we did:
- Ate homemade hot apple turnovers with ice cream,
- Jumped in a bounce house
- Had fresh squeezed lemon aid
- Pet animals at the petting zoo
- We saw snow white & Caroline would not take a picture with her. She kept asking if the that scary lady was going to be there. The evil queen really scared her when watched the movie at Lolly's house.
- Took home about 7 organic handpicked apples
It was a fun afternoon.
