On Saturday we drove down to Capitol Reef National Park. I had heard you can pick your own fruit in these beautiful orchards last year and I told my self we were going to do it this year. I guess the story behind these orchards is this: When the pioneers came to Utah some went down and settled what is now known as Capital Reef. Being the good pioneers they were they planted crops and orchards. Then at some point they had to leave(I think it is when they made it a Nat. Park-I'm not sure on that). Now the government still pays to have the orchards kept up, and they are opened to the public.
The kids had a blast picking and eating the apples. I don't really know what kind of apples they are, but they are good! I plan on making apple sauce, dehydrating apple rings, and making some fruit leather. I am learning how to bottle food this fall. I'll let you know how that goes:)
Here are some pretty cute picks we got of the kidos:
