Apple Picking 2010

We took our annual trip to Carter's Mountain Orchard a little earlier this year, and good thing!  There were more varieties of apples to choose from, and the weather was much better than last year when it was quite blustery up on top of the mountain!  Today was a beautiful sunny day to be out running through the apple trees and enjoying fresh snacks. 

The problem was Evan wanted to eat every apple he picked.  He had no interest whatsoever in picking them and putting them in the bag - every one he touched went to his lips.  He tried four or five different varieties, but JonaGold was the clear winner - for all of us.  Even with his thievery, we picked more apples than we need, but that just means more pies!  Yum.  We also enjoyed apple donuts and fresh cider.  What a great way to start Fall!
