Apple Picking

On the 6/10/07 we went apple picking! With The ICF (international Christian fellowship Friday night). We went at 10.30 to met everyone at the church, Ruth didn’t go! Dad had to full some papers out and then we were off! Our friends Jonathan and Rosie came in our car! We drove for about 2 hours and then we had arrived! The place was packed full of people! We went over to a stall that you could get free Cider
( apple juice) at so we all had some of that, they made it there so it was very fresh Cider. We walked round for a bit and then went on a hay ride we had to wait in line for a while as there was so many people but at lest there was more then one hay ride! The hay ride was just a tuck or tractor pulling a trailer with hay bails on it round and you sit on the bails of hay!! Still quite fun though! Stopped at a field that was covered in pumpkins! Got out and looked at all the pumpkins, there were some really big ones there! You could take them back to the shop and have them weighed and then buy them, but we didn’t as those ones are not that good for eating only in cooking such as pumpkin pies and bread! I think most people were just buying them for carving , not eating them. When we had got back, we went and got a huge apple to eat as you were aloud to eat as many apples as you wanted when you were there, but if you wanted to take any home you had to buy them! It was a huge apple! Went an saw how they made caramel apples, but while we were there their machine jammed, and didn’t work. We also saw how they made apple cider, by squeezing the apples into pulp! No one wore any gloves though! The we had some more cider, then we went home. It was a really fun day
