Apple Picking
Yesterday we went apple picking on Shaw Island. We left for the ferry at 11 am and got on the ferry at 11:35 am. It took us about 30 minutes to get there. We arrived around 12:20 pm. I learned that the apple orchard is owned by the University of Washington. It took us (20 students) about an hour and a half to pick most of the apples off the trees there. Many of us climbed trees to shake the apples off. We filled the back of the pick up truck to the rim. We had to wait until 4:10 to take the ferry back to Friday Harbor. While we were waiting we played apple baseball. We were pitched apples that were left on the ground and we would hit it as if we were playing baseball. It was so much fun! I'm glad it didn't rain that much.
Today, we will be making cider with the apples that we picked. I hope it's delicious! I originally thought we were just going to juice it, but Michelle told me cider making is a whole different process. It's basically gritty apple juice!
