Last Saturday afternoon we attended Portland Nursery's Apple Tasting Festival. It was so yummy. We were able to taste dozens of different types of apples and pears. Check out the list here. 
I had no idea there are that many different types of apples. It was a fun fall activity and it was free. A few weeks earilier we had checked out a book for the kids from the library called "Apples to Oregon" that taked all about how the first apple trees in OR were brought from Iowa on wagons around 1847. It was neat to know the history before we attended the festival. It is definatly apples season around here and I am getting in the apple mood. I had to go to the stand next door to us to get some apples to make some apple pie today!!
