Several years passed and then we started inviting our pals Dan and Erin to wander with us among Regents and Cortlands. It always was a good time for the foursome, and I would get my share of apples, apple donuts and cider.
And then there were five.
Last year was Dan and Erin's daughter Avery's first apple expedition. Again, a good trip, and I got my fill of cider and donuts.
Now, there are six.
Today was the annual orchard trek. Considering that last weekend the ground was covered in snow and it was sleeting just a couple of days ago, today's highs in the upper 50s, sunshine and a breeze made for stellar conditions. The apples and donuts weren't bad either.
Elise would concur -- about the apples, at least. It was her first apple trip with Dan, Erin and Avery, and she spent most of the orchard visit gummin' a juicy Haralson.
The '09 expedition highlights:
Elise does not give up easily.
Camera flare from the sun. Darghh!

Cindy didn't have her fill out an applicaton yet, has she?
Who made the adorable pumpkin hat?
Maxine, a very good family friend, made the hat for Elise while I was pregnant. I told her that I always wanted a pumpking hat for my baby and she showed up with one at my work one day. She has also made Elise a bunny hat and a turnip hat.
