In order to get ready for Rosh Hashannah (Jewish New Year) we went on our annual apple picking trip. We picked LOTS of apples as well as pears and a few peaches. We had nice weather but sadly not all the varieties of apples were ready just yet. The kids enjoyed nonetheless and we were able to bake a delicious apple cake, make an apple pie and eat lots of yummy apples and honey throughout the holiday.
Daddy taught the kids how to properly remove the stem from the apple and find out who you are going to marry. Not sure it worked out so well for Zoe :-)
Nothing sweeter than Zachary and Zoe's faces in the apple orchard, but we are biased I guess. By the way the kids chose to wear their tie-dyes!
Grammy and Grandpa came for Rosh Hashannah and we snapped a few pictures of the kids with them before dinner. Everyone had fun being together and eating all the sweet treats. We also had a big garden harvest that day, basil, parsley, cucumbers, tomatoes and a carrot. OK so we learned it was too soon on the carrots, we have some more still in the ground. The parsley is the one Zachary planted in Kindergarten (see April entry) which we transplanted into our garden in the early summer. We are sure proud of our garden this year, seems to be the best year yet.
