Apple Picking

The kids and I were feeling bored (ok, I was bored- the kids were fine) so I decided to take them to Tehachapi to go apple picking. I was afraid that we were going to end up having to buy 30 lbs of apples because of Abbie's love of gathering objects, but neither kid was all that interested. Abbie chased around a feral cat and Carter ate shriveled up apples from the dirt. We left with our little 1 lb bag of apples before the kids had a chance to go into meltdown mode, because if that happened at this point in the week with me by myself, I just might leave them to be helping hands (or at least mascots) for the apple farm.
