Apple Pickin' Time

This year our apple tree in the front yard was loaded

with apples. After many began dropping, we

decided we had better pick some...make some apple pie...

and maybe some apple sauce. Avery loves the apples and was

to our suprise quite the little

helper during this chore of picking apples!

Avery caught on quick to the idea of putting apples in the box.

She found her own personal box and began to slowly fill

it. This is what it looked like when she started.
(notice the collection of leaves)

A little climbing makes any chore fun!

Quite the little worker...hauling boxes all by herself!

Of course there is always time for a little

"apple break"!

...and a little peek-a-boo with Dad behind the boxes

Here is her box in the end....quite impressive I must say

(minus the fact that she picked all the "wormy" ones

from the ground....but hey, she IS only 15 months old)
