Apple orchard fun!

We went to a great apple orchard in Charlottesville, one we went to last year. We thought this would be fun to do with Gran and Grandpa Robert, the ride was beautiful as all the leaves are changing colors! It was cloudy and a little cool but we had a fun time. It was a big hike up one of the mountains to get some fuji apples, we stopped to look at a caterpillar and Emily got a ride for part of it! Once we started picking apples the kids were on their game. Emily is a collector and loves to gather so she had armfuls, Mac was more interested in using the super large apple picker.....! Emily tried to carry one of the bags and fell on her rear (and got muddy of course). We saw some wonderful views, Mac said "we can see the world"!

After we came down from the fuji's, Mac and I went to look for more apples but we didn't have an apple picker thing, so Mac climbed up in the trees to pick the apples for me which was a highlight for him. We left with 20 pounds of apples, apple donuts, apple cider, a large pumpkin to carve, 2 muddy kids and alot of muddy feet! Now what to do with all these apples.....
