After hours of fiddling around, I finally was able to post a slideshow of apple picking yesterday! It was such a nice day! There was the threat of rain looming overhead so we were a bit worried but it turned out to be a lovely fall day. Not much sun but around a cool 70 degrees (my fav temperature!) and not very crowded. There were a couple school groups but they stayed in their own areas so we pretty much had our section of the orchard to ourselves!
The trees were so full of apples that the branches were hanging down to the ground. Large, juicy ripe apples just begging to be picked! We got two full bags of our favorite apples to be made into apple pies, apple pankcakes, apple muffins, applesauce, apple cake, apple....apple everything! And of course, a bunch for my boys (esp the big one) to munch on!
We took our time loading our bags and then grabbed a package of scrumptious heavenly doughnuts on our way to pay. Oh, those apple spice and pumpkiny pumpkin morsels of goodness! The smell of them....Oh goodness!
After gaining 5 pounds just from breathing in the heady scent of freshly baked doughnuts, we headed to the kid's farm where we checked out all sorts of adorable baby animals and where Samuel took a "ride" on a huge red tractor:)
It was a fully satisfied family that pulled away from the County Line Orchard, already dreaming about next year!
