Last weekend we took AJ to an apple orchard for the first time. AppleHoller is just across the Wisconsin border, in Sturtevant. They have about 25 different kinds of apples growing there, and all kinds of other stuff, including critters like this:

We picked three bushels, including about a half bushel that AJ had his way with. He had never eaten whole apples before, but it didn’t take him long to figure it out. I think he was a bit overwhelmed by so many to choose from, so he nibbled on several at once.

There were three adults there, and we did make one mistake. Keep this formula in mind if you ever take small children to an apple orchard:

n = A - T

where n is the maximum number of bushels, A is the number of adults, and T is the number of toddlers. If you exceed this number, it’s quite difficult to get apples and children back to the car.
