An apple a day.....

This morning we packed up (rather early) and headed about an hour away to an Apple Orchard. When we got there the owner (wife) showed up the apple house and where they store the apples. We also got to see the huge fridge. They had a little store at the front where they sold already picked apples and other apple goodies (we bought yummy FRESH homemade cider!!!!) Then we went up the mountain to the orchard part. There were over 80 acres of apples!!! The other owner (husband) took us on a little hayride. (we had apples to eat while riding and while he talked to us!) Here are the three Musketeers on the 'hayride'.

Then everyone picked a little bag of apples (we paid a tour fee and the fee included a 1/4 peck per person- you could buy more)
Jack LOVES apples (he takes after his mommy!) and ate more apples than one can count on one hand
A friend tried to take a picture but this was the only one where everyone is looking (kinda looks like I really have to pee here- I was just trying to squat next to the kiddos)
