Apple Picking with Tee Tee!

Yea, it's been a long time. I am getting my act together. There may be some backtracking so be forewarned...

We went apple picking at BlueJay Orchards in Bethel with Tee Tee Cyndi in early October. Tee Tee happened to grow up in Brookfield so she jumped at the chance to take Christian to the orchard that she grew up picking at. We had a blast. We got a freshly popped bag of Kettle Corn to keep us nourished along the way and hit the ground running with the apples. We started and ended our trip in the Mutsu apples area. These have been nicknamed the "Crack Apples". These things were bigger than Christian's face. I had one as a kid at a family members backyard orchard and have always loved them and remembered just how big they got. Rich and Cyndi were in disbelief. We got maybe 5 of them and filled a third of the bag... rich asked if we could get other kinds before we tapped out on the big ones...so we made our way around with frequent popcorn breaks and made it out of there with TONS Of apples. Lots of baking going on around here.

Check out some of our pics. There would have been more but our camera died..BOO!
