Apple Picking 2012

We had such a great (and exhausting) day apple-picking! The D----s invited us to join them at Sky Top Orchard, which turned out to be well worth the two-hour drive.


We sent the kids up into the trees to reach the best apples! 










Two bushels of apples per family:
Mamas will be doing a lot of baking and canning this upcoming week!




After a picnic lunch (and amazing orchard "apple slushie" and apple doughnuts, we took a wagon ride through the orchard. They also had a play ground and an area to feed chickens and goats, neither of which we enjoyed because we ran out of time with collapsing children and all.
