We enjoyed our apple picking so much last year that we knew it was a "must" this year...and well, in these parts I think it is just a "must" period. We decided to try a new orchard that Best heard about at work. I just love that he works with these sweet women who have older children and lots of info on all of the local kid attractions. We have benefited greatly from their knowledge, this being no exception!
The weather was beautiful and just chilly enough that it really felt like fall and I was happy that they had a large indoor area with food and live music. (Not to mention face painting, shopping, and a giant popcorn machine!) While I enjoyed a brat, Peanut and Best walked around made mental notes of what types of apple were available to pick. They had them all for sale in big bushels, but we wanted to wait and pick our own. Peanut's theory is definately "try before you buy" we soon found out!
We went on a little train ride while we waited for the tractor to leave for the orchard.
Then we loaded up to go on our 2nd annual apple pick! I hope Peanut will always want to do this. I have visions of him coming home from college and begging me to take him like I did when he was little. Let a mom dream...Smile.
The pictures speak for themselves.
Peanut soon found that you might stumble over a few thousand apples on the ground if you don't watch your feet (he doesn't). But he just got up and shook it off. That a boy Peanut!
Making the sign for apple. He learned this one way back because his mother is a big fan of apples!!!
Lots of snacking along the way.
Best did most of the work and was so sweet to want to get the very best apples for Peanut and I. He is such a good provider...even in the apple orchard!
I love these rare occasions when he looks straight into the camera. I click as quick as I can, knowing it will only last a moment...are you thinking what I'm thinking?
It was amazing to think about how much he's grown this past year. Last year he could just sit up and definitely was not eating apples whole!
I love apples. They are so easy to eat, so healthy, so beautiful, and there are so many varieties. I'm glad my little Peanut got to stock up. We may be back though, they're going quick!
Have a great week friends and family!
