To celebrate our friend Amy's birthday, we loaded up and took our yearly trip to Mercier Orchards. Both the girls had a great time picking apples and we couldn't have asked for nicer weather. After a ridiculous amount of fritters, pork rinds, boiled peanuts, and fruit, we headed home to sleep off our food stupor. We also discovered a new favorite apple - the "September Wonder." Emily has a tradition of bringing back apples for her teachers every year and they all really enjoyed the variety she picked this year. Too bad we can't find them at Publix! Guess we'll have to make another trip to Blue Ridge sometime soon. I cooked the last of the apples in a pie to take to Homecoming lunch at church today!
