Honeycrisp Apples

I took the kids to Crane's yesterday after I picked them up from school. I figured there would be lots of Honeycrisp apples since Saturday was opening day and it pretty much rained all weekend. They're almost gone! There were lots at the tops of the tree but sadly I can't reach. I climbed one tree and was handing apples down to Mia but that was short-lived as the little branch I was standing on broke and I came falling out of the tree. I had to tell Mia it's our little secret since she kept repeating to me "Mommy, they don't want you climbing the trees.....". Shhhh... before someone hears you. The Honeycrisps are 75cents/lb (with a 2 bushel limit)and regular apples are still 65cents/lb. If you don't go today, I don't think there will be any left unless they have them in another area that I didn't see. They close at 6pm. Of course, it goes without saying that the donuts were all sold out. That made for a sad Phillips family last night. I've got apples to last me for awhile and I don't want to drive down there just for donuts. Maybe in another month.
