Apple Picking!

Last Friday a few of the PC families took a field trip to Butler's Orchard to pick some apples and enjoy the fall atmosphere!

Though rain had been the norm for weeks before, Friday arrived cool and sunshine-y. It was a perfect day for picking!

Eventually the girls decided that climbing the trees would be more fun.

Meanwhile, some of us scoured the low (read: very low) branches for treasure.

In the end, we left with quite a lot of pretty expensive apples -- but I guess the extra we paid was all for the distinctly non-Floridian experience!

By the way, meet the extra girls in the gang, our dear host family's daughters at home. This is Susanna (also known as Suzie), and this is an accurate portrayal of her personality. Hysterical. We love her! :)

An this is MaryLynn, Suzie's older sister, Gracie's schoolfellow. They do all the boring stuff together, in an effort to make it more appealing. Who knows if it's working. For the record, we love her, too! :)
