Apple Pick-tures

Here are some pictures of what the Chicago Larsens and the Clairmont-Wilsons did this Saturday. Mainly: pick apples. No, times are not that difficult for either household. We did it for pleasure, mostly, although if apple farms really wanted to please us they would build themselves a bit closer to Chicago. But that's neither here nor there. In the shot above, Shane Wilson, like the apocryphal Newton before him, studies an apple. In a baseball cap.

In the picture below, Brandi and I are posing like a modern "American Gothic", with Brandi in her M*A*S*H t-shirt playing the role of "wife" and me in the "Just be glad I'm not your kid" t-shirt playing the role of "twit with pitchfork". Though we bear little resemblance to the models of the original painting, we are clearly dressed in the colors the artist intended.



Ah, the joy of apples! Brandi shows off her latest pick with a girly grin while fashionista Clair
shows she's got what it takes to triumph on "America's Next Top Corn Model". Other pictures I should probably include but did not include: Brandi with Bunny, the Great Corn Relay, Pumpkins!, and my personal favorite, Creepy Dried Gords on the Ceiling of a Barn for No Reason I Can Understand.

Oh the apple picking looks like fun. Love the pics. Matt and Brandi American Gothic. Brandi with bunny? Dried gourds?

I'm still contemplating the microclimate that is created in your pants in the above post.

It's very cool to see Shane and Clair. :-)
