The post named so because I was thinking we went to the apple orchard and bought some shoes (no, we didn’t buy shoes at the apple orchard), which made me think of Dad’s ‘apple-kicker’ shoes.
Anyhoo, Adrienne and I went up to the apple orchard we’d been too a couple times before, and while they didn’t have any Honeycrisps, we managed to leave with two other varieties (Fortunes and Crispins) as well as some fresh doughnuts, cider and fudge. Then we went to quite possibly the largest outlet mall I’ve been to, to purchase some Rockport dress shoes to replace my Rockport dress shoes I purchased more than 8 years ago at a Rockport outlet store somewhere in Iowa on the way to Wichita.(wow that was a really bad sentence but it’s late so I’m not editing.) I’d say I got my money’s worth.
I only took a couple photos of the day, and they’re both from the orchard. First up, Adrienne was so happy about snagging fresh-out-of-the-fryer doughnuts that she had to close her eyes lest they pop out in excitement! Or maybe she was just blinking.
(And yes, thank you for noticing, Adrienne did recently get a hair cut. We call it a little longer than Drew Barrymore-length.)
And here we are enjoying the treats at a table in the beautiful fall weather:
Call me in about 8 years and ask me how the shoes have done.

Edit: here’s a photo of the old shoes, now disposed of:

All that chatter about “apple kickers” but no pics of the Rockports. Not so sure you should be kicking ground apples with the new shoes, anyway. You need Farm and Fleet shoes for that. 🙂

Nice pics! It’s actually been cool and crisp here, too. Maybe today was “Autumn” 😉
