Apple Picking!

A couple of weeks ago we went apple picking at our favorite fruit farm. We actually weren't supposed to go until the first week of September, but we got an update from the fruit farm saying that because of the weather, they were moving up the apple picking of our favorite, Honeycrisp, one week.

Picking for Honeycrisp apples is REALLY popular around here. It's usually from Friday to Sunday. People who wait until Sunday though usually don't get much pickings at all. So Friday morning we were up and ready to get our apples. 

Although this was Eva's second year going apple picking, she understood it a lot more this year and was excited to actually pull the apples off the trees. Even though we got there mid-morning, the place was starting to fill up fast!

We got our 2 bushel bags and starting filling them up :-)

Taking a quick break

Okay....ready to pick some more apples!

 

 We had such a good time. Eva found a stick, got to pick some apples........by herself and with her Dad. John got to eat apples off the trees, and I had fun taking pics the whole time. This was possibly our last apple picking season....at least for a few years. Maybe we'll be able to come back after Baby "B" is home with us and give her the whole apple picking experience. In Florida, they're all about the oranges.
