Emma's apple

So, one of our neighbors has a bunch of great apple trees in her horse pasture, and she told us we were welcome to all of them- she told us the same thing last year but we never really got around to it. Tonight we went for a walk before dinner and Greg ran into the field to check if the apples were ripe- he picked a few and they are really good! He took a bite, I took a bite, then Emma asked for the apple. She continued to gnaw on the apple throughout the whole walk, she was just completely smitten with it. Here in this picture, she's almost done with it- this started out as a big, full-sized apple! We couldn't believe how much she ate! Needless to say, she had absolutely no interest in dinner when we got back... Greg went back and picked a bushel of apples and we got a small batch done tonight for applesauce- he's got 6 pints, and that's maybe 1/3 of the apples he picked! More to come in the next few days before too many apples get dropped on the ground!! We're thrilled!!! :D
