Apple War

A couple weeks ago, the boys

and I joined my parents on our annual vacation

at Shiloh camp ground on Hatch Lake, NY.

Mark, Jordan, Uncle Al, Aunt Rosie,

Uncle Rich and Judy joined us too

later in the week.

It's always a highlight of the year for us.

The last day we were there, Dave,

the camp director

took us all hiking over the many acres

of woods to find apples.

We filled bags, coolers, buckets and pockets

with the many apples.

I spent many days putting the apples

away in the freezer and in jars on the shelves.

There were still 3 buckets on the back porch today.

I went outside and tossed one at Tim up by the shed.

That was all it took, a full hour long

apple war broke out.

"Teams" were formed, Luke and I together against

Brendan, Tim, Silas and Addan.

Luke and I were at a disadvantage of throwing up hill.

I used my hood for protection.

Hunter came and went as it was lunch time and food

seemed more important than dodging

fast whizzing apples.

What a fun lunch break!

Be sure to wear protection if you drop by for lunch :)
