Apples to apples


My sister-in-law, Bethany, gave me this awesome idea for a Family Night. We had an apple tasting event. We put 7 apples on numbered plates and put the little sticker (the one that comes on the apple) underneath the plate. Each person had to eat a piece of the apple and rate it, not knowing what type of apple they were eating. Then they posted their "ratings" on a posterboard. Then we had the boys average the score to see which apples got the highest marks. We then talked about which apples did we THINK we'd like and which ones did we ACTUALLY like. Kevin did an awesome job of relating that to people- sometimes we judge a book by its cover and don't open it up. Sometimes we don't a food because of the way it looks. Sometimes we look at a person and think we wouldn't like them but they have the potential to become our best friends! Thanks, B, for an awesome activity!
