So with the World Series over the Flott's decided to keep baseball alive a little longer. We invented a game called Apple Baseball. Just like stick ball but your hit is rated by how many little pieces the apple goes into when you smash it with the stick. If one little piece breaks off it's a single, two pieces a double and so on. If you smash it to smithereens it is called making applesauce and it is a home run. Lots of fun. Each base is made out of a pile of apples and the pitcher has a duffle bags with apples to pitch. (For those of you worried that we are wasting perfectly good apples, we have made over 100 liters of applesauce, apple bread, apple muffins and have a huge bin of them in our cellar to eat. It is a large tree!) We have collected a huge bag filled with apples to save in the garage so the kids can teach Jimmy and Ally how to play when they come see us at Christmas.
Who knew dogs liked apples? Peabody kept eating the ones that made up home plate. Gives new meaning to stealing home.
Thomas "making applesauce!"
Noah ready to take a swing. He kept calling for larger apples.
Sophie ready to bat at what is left of home plate!
