Steve tells me that all you chemists following my blog will understand the title...some kind of mnemonic for remembering acids...or something like that. He started naming them, but I don't speak chemist.
What's that...oh...I only have one chemist who actually reads this blog...oh, well...it really is good apple pie!
Yesterday we went apple picking at Linvilla Orchards and today we made apple pie. I say "we" loosely...Steve and the girls made apple pie while I tried to document the event through photos.
The pie is delicious...especially with some vanilla bean ice cream...my mouth is drooling just thinking about it. WOW!
But we did discover that both our children have some odd tastebud defect...neither of them really cared for the pie!?!? How is that? Steve doesn't seem to mind too much...more for him :)
Today we went to Linvilla Orchards and had a blast! We went specifically today because it is opening day for Honeycrisp apples...the absolute best apples in the world! And we were not disappointed...we picked a half bushel of these beauties and then headed over to the peach orchard to finish our bushel. The peaches were excellent too. I'm thankful they don't weigh the pickers before and after...we definitely enjoyed a snack while picking!
After our time in the orchard, we headed to the playground. The girls had a blast running around, being crazy, and conquering the maze! We enjoyed our picnic lunch and then walked around checking out the animals. The girls even got to feed some of the deer...apples, of course :) We saw all different kinds of chickens, some goats, and some emus too.
Then we headed over to the market. Steve got some hotsauce...poor guy's been out for a while...he's happy now!
All in all, it was a wonderful day! Here are some pictures for you to enjoy~
My husband is an organic chemist...I only know how to say it...I personally found chemistry rather difficult and avoided it at all cost. Until, of course, this very handsome chemist and I became friends...and then closer friends. Suddenly I was very interested in listening to him talk about his work and draw me pictures of his work...of course, I just listened to his foreign language and pretended to know what all those doodles were. It all worked out in the end...he promises to take over the upper level sciences for homeschooling :)
Anyhoo, he recently brought home a molecule building set for the girls and they opened it this morning. What fun! It's like a better version of tinker toys...everyone should have one of these for their kids :) I loved watching the girls get creative! B wants to know what molecule she created...I told her she'd have to ask her dad. S also loved it...she wants to hang her creation from the ceiling...we'll see. I love this kind of time with the girls...it is wonderful watching them learn and create.
