Apple Picking & Pumpkin Hunting

Carter's Mountain Apple Orchard is a Charlottesville staple. We picked a cold and windy day to visit, but had a great time. After driving up the mountain, we got our bags and hiked out through the trees. Evan was very intrigued to see apples in the trees, and clamored for a piece of his favorite fruit. The first apple he touched went right in his mouth, and wow was it good! Having fresh juice all over and a happy little man chased away all the cold. After filling our bags with enough apples to make pies and muffins for months, we also bought apple donuts, apple cider, and apple butter! Yum.

Next stop was the pumpkin patch. Evan was very curious as to what bright and hard things were nearly as tall as he was. One little man in one big pumpkin patch... The smaller pumpkins were just his size. It's going to be fun to carve them for Halloween!
