Baking an apple crisp

I'm going to put the apples I bought at the farm stand to good use today and bake an apple crisp.  I've got some apple crisp mix here and some nice Granny Smith apples.

The recipe says to peel and core the apples.  Be beary careful with knives.  Here I go.

Cool!  I peeled this apple in one long piece...

I really want to eat an apple now but the recipe calls for five apples and I only have five, so I guess I have to wait.

Next, I melt some butter and add it to the mix in a big bowl.

I stir it all together.  Hmm, I think this recipe could be enhanced if honey were added...

I place the apple slices into a baking dish.

Then I pour the mix over the apples.

Okay, now it's ready to go into the oven.

I wait eagerly for the apple crisp to finish baking.

Uncle Tibbs walks by to see what I am up to.  "Mmm...that smells good, Ajdin!"  We wait together.

30 minutes later, I take it out of the oven.  Be beary careful and remember to use oven mitts.  Also remember to share it with your friends.  :)  It was beary delicious!

Road trip

Uncle Tibbs and I decided to go on a road trip to visit some of my friends.  Since it is too far and too cold to walk, we took the car.  And since I am still working on getting my driver's license (hopefully I will get it soon), Uncle Tibbs drove.

"Remember, safety first, Ajdin.  Please fasten your seat belt."

The weather was very nice on our drive.  I really like the countryside view here.

We stopped at a farm stand.  There was a sign on the door that said "NO PETS ALLOWED" but it did not say "NO BEARS ALLOWED", so I went inside.  (Humans should be more specific with signage).

There were lots of apples for sale...

More apples...

And even more apples!

Mmm... these pies look good...

Hmm...

But, there was honey!

In fact, there was so much honey that I did not want to leave...

But Uncle Tibbs said it was getting dark so after a quick snack, we were back on the road.

Finally, after several hours, we arrived at my friends' house.  From left to right, this is Patch, Droopy, and Spunky.  As you can see, they each have their own sweaters on since it is still very cold.

We took a group photo..

And then just relaxed!  What a long day of driving!
