Aha! We Mainers love a good apple don't we? Where else in the country can you go and find people upon people participating in Apple festivals; eating apples for breakfast, lunch and dinner; and paying more to pick the apple than to buy the apple. Seeing as the fall season reaps so much fruit around our neck of the woods we also get wrapped up in the excitement. Here are some pictures to show you just how much fun we have with crisp Maine apples.
Considering the lack of height that these boys have they prefer to sit right in the trees to pick their apples. It makes reaching for the apple so much easier and is also a lot of fun.
This year we went to the Apple Festival in Manchester with our good friends Alison and Charlotte. The boys had a great time jumping in the blow up eye sores, riding in the horse-drawn wagon and watching the parade. Alison and Charlotte are such a huge help with the boys, just look at what they do to carry Andrew around; He couldn't get away if he wanted to.
If you want a good recipe to eat apples for any meal then make up some German apple pancakes. I wasn't aware that Germans had a lot of apples, but they sure do know how to make a good pancake. It is also a great way to impress the ladies... just ask Alison; I bet the first man to make her these pancakes will capture her heart.
What else does Autumn bring? Well, it isn't something you can eat.
