The Apple Orchard

Every year, we go on an annual trip to our local apple orchard with one of my best friends & her family. This has become a tradition that even our husbands ask about. 

We ride on a hay wagon out to the apple orchard to begin our apple picking adventure!  

Both kids eagerly hopped off the wagon and grabbed a bag. They were determined to fill up their bags! 
Mom's checkbook told them to share a bag! ha


Tastes great Mom! 
The apples were a bit chilly when we bit into them, it had froze the night before.

"You try it Dad!"


Even though this apple orchard isn't a huge commercial orchard, we love the simplicity. The orchard & store are a lot less crowded than the big shops & we enjoy learning from the orchard workers.


She wanted to pick one that was "high" up!

Let's RUN to the next kind of apples!

We had a wonderful morning as a family at the apple orchard. I love making these fun fall memories with our children!


My kids LOVE apples; we eat them almost daily! We love picking apples in the fall!

 

Here is our family from last year's apple picking adventure! Can't wait to plan next year's!

This weekend we will be going back to the apple orchard to get more apples to make apple crisp! 
I will be posting my favorite apple crisp recipe soon! Stop back!

Happy Fall from our family to yours! 

Have you been you to your local apple orchard yet?

  1. I have never seen one of those apple picking sticks, how neat is that! Apple picking is the funnest and Mommy's favorite part (ok, besides eating the apples) is getting so good family photos!

  4. This looks like so much fun! I've never been apple picking since we don't have orchards here in Florida. Hopefully I'll be able to go up north sometime next year.

  5. Oh, I miss having apples fresh off the tree! Sure don't miss the winter coats in October though! We've been in the 80s & 90s!
