A is for Apples

If you're wondering why I'm using the first letter of the alphabet for a fruit, here's why:
1. I like apples. They're probably one of my fav fruits.
2. They make a huge CRUNCH when I bit into one.
3. Every fall, I go apple-picking with my family and have lots of fun.
I know if I stop here, this post will probably be the most boring post in 7 grade so I'm going to make this post as super duper as possible.

I like apples because most of them have a very sweet taste(even though it's good for you) and there are soooo many different kinds!!! There are empire, macintosh, gala, granny smith, red delicous and paula red, to name a few. I like all of them but my absolute favourite kind is probably macintosh because when I eat it, it gives my tastebuds a sweet-sour taste that's oh so delicious. I also like how red the outside is but how startling white it is on the inside. I know you would probably think that I'm kind of weird liking apples, but I'm just a fruity girl because I love fruits.

I just love the sound of someone biting into a apple. Seriously I do. The CRUNCH a person makes when they drive their teeth into the outer layer. It is a sharp one but a mix between sharp and soft, so it's not too sharp or not too soft. It's just right! It's probably one of my favourite sounds next to wolves howling or the sound of a whispering breeze, but Ms.Weldon told us that too many people getting are getting off topic so I'm going to stop getting off topic right..............now.


Like I said in my intro, every fall I go apple-picking with my family at this one place called Chudleighs. I have been going ever since I can remember. At Chudleighs there is a playground and a petting zoo as well as the apple orchards. At the playgroud, there's a ladder you go up and and you can either go down on the wimpy small slide, that's for teeny kids or the major slide that bigger kids go on. I always go on the bigger slide. It's awesome. When you go down it feels like for a split second you're flying then you're just sliding on your bottom into a pile of hay, getting hay all over you. It's kind of bad because my Dad is allergic to hay, no joke. The petting zoo is also awesomematic (give credit to M. O'Donovan for this word, it's his). There's lots of different animals. Sure they are only farm animals but they're still cool. They're chickens, rabbits, donkeys, dogs, ponies and pigs. The last time I went there, I remember seeing a sow with lots of piglets. They were very cute. To get back to the apples, when we go apple picking, you get to go on to a big tractor that takes you through the apple orchards. When you see the types of apples you want, you just hop off and go pick apples. By the time we finish picking, we probably fill about 4 bags full of apples. Those apples last quite a long time. With some of the apples, my Mummy makes an apple crisp and apple pies.

Yes, I know you guys were probably looking for something more interesting but hey this assignment is about our life in letters right? Anyways my advice to you is to go apple picking with your family sometime. You never know, you just might have a lot of fun.

Life Lesson: Enjoy the simple things in life. Sometimes they are the things that you remember the most when you grow up.
