The boys had their first ever caramel apples today. We picked these up at James's school fall harvest festival. I assume it was a fundraiser? Anyway they had never had one before. I had one too, for the first time since.... middle school? I think our middle school used to sell Affy Tapple as a fundraiser? Anyway somewhere around 6th or 7th grade I ate one and found the apple inside was nasty, and I haven't had one since. Besides, it's not like grownups just go around eating caramel apples, right? So I guess it was maybe 23 years, give or take, since the last time I had one. It was good!
Another "first" which isn't particularly noteworthy: last night it just happened that we had some little 5 oz cans of apple juice so we let the boys each have one with dinner and watching them drink out of these little cans was kind of hilarious. James was pretty excited, like he was Mr. Big Shot. Walter was nursing his very slowly and solemnly. He looked ridiculous with that can. We had to tell James not to stick his finger in that can hole, it's sharp in there! Trust us, we know. He didn't believe us. We were like, how does he not know this? Oh, right, because he has NEVER had a beverage out of a can before. First time for everything, right?

Your mom gets a hankering for caramel apples each fall. Or at least she did when we lived in the suburbs. I haven't had one in ages either.
ReplyDeleteI had the first bottle of cider this week from our first batch, and it was good. This is not the kind of cider we'll let the boys drink for a few years, but you can try it when you are down here.
Glad to!
ReplyDeleteLove caramel apples! Looks like the boys do, too
