A couple of weekends ago, GraGra and Papa dropped in for a visit. It had been a while since they had a Colin and Gillian fix! We woke up to a beautiful fall morning, so I suggested we try some apple picking. So, down the road we headed to Triple B Farms.
After (overly) detailed instructions from the apple lady, we headed up the hill to the orchard. We were given more (friendlier) instruction on the types of apples they had ripe and how to pick. The kids paid very close attention, actually. Then we were off!
Quick stop for a picture with Mama!
Peek-a-boo GraGra!
Colin found a good one!
Hard working apple pickers!
We're better at picking than picture taking....
We ended up with about half a bushel of honey crisp and jonagold apples. We've been eating a lot of them and we've made two batches of applesauce! I promised to make the kids a pie, so we need to get that done!

Glad you had a good time apple picking! E loves apple picking, and she'd pick the orchard bare if we let her. We've been twice already and plan to go at least one more time. Enjoy the apples!
FUN!! Honey Crisps are our favs too. Did they get that pie yet? ;)
