With Christmas approaching so very rapidly, I feel compelled to write a few more fall-related posts, as quickly and as heavily picture-laden as possible.
We had our first North Carolina (and Zach's very first??) apple picking experience. We drove to Skytop Orchard and made a morning of it, as the place also had playgrounds, farm animals, and tractor rides. Also, the very best donuts ever. Oh yeah, and we picked apples.

It was quite a fun day. Since I had more apples than Caelum and I could eat, I made some homemade apple sauce and gave some of the other apples away. Here's hoping apple picking will be a new tradition!
Sweet pictures. I have never been apple picking either... I think our parents failed in that category.. haha.... Mom, i know you are reading this, go ahead and blast me. :)
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing you guys in a couple days!
Well, I will have to blast you and your brother. While I did not take you apple picking (I was probably home cleaning or shopping....since I am accused of being indulgent in both areas!), your father took both of you guys apple picking 20 years ago in Maine - pictures to prove it.
