Every fall my family goes to the orchard to pick our own apples, drink cider slushies, buy a bag of red hots, and eat dinner at an Indiana gem, Gray Brothers Cafeteria. It has been ages since I've been at home for this tradition, so it was great to see that nothing has really changed.
Penny wore her candy corn outfit for the occasion.
We picked a ton of apples. My family's fav is golden delicious, so of course my mom called ahead to ask when these apples would be in their prime. I used several of my freshly picked apples to whip up a delicious caramel apple pie. YUM! My mouth just watered thinking about it. I usually only make this pie for Thanksgiving, but made an exception to take advantage of my fresh apples.
After apple pickin' we had a delicious dinner at Grays. My meal was followed by the best piece of coconut cream pie I have ever had. I only ate half of it at the restaurant so that I could take it home and savor it with more appreciation when I was hungry instead of bursting at the seams. The meringue on that thing was incredible!
Penelope and my sister Rachel had a photo shoot during some down time.
