Marlee Lands Safely In The Apple Orchard

Once again, Marlee has shown her family that her ideas are not only exciting, but so much fun! The balloon trip was cold, noisy, and especially fun because her mama and daddy surprised her by being in the balloon to accompany her to the apple orchard.
When they landed, it was a bit scary because the balloon didn't go exactly where it was supposed to. For some reason they landed just outside the apple orchard. They landed gently though. There were lots of people there to make sure everyone on board was okay. Marlee is finding out at a very young age, that people are generally there to help her even if they don't know her.



They were taken to the orchard by a special fire truck that was used only for very special people. The driver even had the siren go "ooga ooga" since it was so old it couldn't make a "wee ooh, wee ooh" sound. Marlee was a very special person, of course. All of Marlee's family laughed and laughed. Such fun it was to ride in an old fire truck.
Soon they arrived at the apple orchard. Much to everyone's surprise there were

lots of people there. There were grownups and children. There were grandmas and grandpas. There were babies and there were children that could walk. There were also people that lifted their children way up high so that they could pick their own apples.

There was a person there that gave a little talk. That person told the group that there had been a theft. A theft is taking something that doesn't belong to you. Well, it seems that someone had stolen the Magic Green Apple. That particular apple was extremely important to anyone that wanted to make apple pie. This apple mixed with red apples made the pie taste just perfect. Anyone knows that perfect apple pie is extremely hard to find. If you look very very closely you can see the Magic Green Apple mixed in with red apples.
There seems to be two people that are competing to find the Magic Green Apple. One is very young and one is not. The young people live close to the orchard, the older person has a long trip back if he has sneaked the Magic Green Apple in his pocket for the trip back home.
There are two other people that are very wise and also know about the Magic Green Apple. Oh, I think that their names are Grandma and Papa. They are friends of Grandma Lu's. If they took it, they are destroying the evidence, aren't they? Just look at all of those apple peelings. Using an apple peeler is so much fun. The apple goes round and round and it comes out just perfectly peeled and sliced for a pie.
