We added a new fall tradition to the line up this year - apple picking in Hood River, Oregon. We loaded up all the kids and went for an hour and a half drive to get the same apples that we could have gotten at the Camas Produce Market. Why? Because, as Tucker would say, "it's a babenture"!
The weather was dicey in beginning, but we hit the orchard for picking at just the right time - between rain storms! We even got to see a couple of rainbows - 
We picked a couple of bags of Honeycrisp apples and then pulled the rest from the already picked bins outside of the market. 
We ended up with 80 pounds of apples...which I thought would be more than enough to make our applesauce for the year. However, upon canning them all up today, we only ended up with 21 quarts and 1 big batch of apple butter. Next year we will have to remember that we will need 160 pounds!! Oh my...
I highly recommend this "babenture" for anybody who enjoys apples and beautiful fall weather. :-)
