Did you know that when four people pick you can fill an apple bag to the top in about 5 minutes? And our time among apple trees was cut short by Marissa's announcement the minute we were dropped off in the orchard that she had to go potty -- immediately. This after refusing to go potty before we left the house, at the Subway we had lunch at on the way there, or at the main entrance of the apple orchard when we first arrived.
We miraculously made it back to the main building in time and then were able to enjoy the rest of the day. There were hay bales to climb on, a petting zoo, and a playground partially made of farm equipment.
There also was a pumpkin patch, where the girls spent lots of time picking out the perfect pumpkins.
Lindsey fell asleep in the car on the way back, and took a nearly two-hour nap once we arrived home. She awoke in time to eat my favorite fall meal: stuffed pork chops with mashed potatoes and gravy, followed by a piece of homemade apple pie.
It was a great way to spend a beautiful, crisp fall day.
Great pics! We were camping next to a family who was doing an "orchard run" over the weekend. We were in the Charlottesville, VA area, so there are plenty to choose from. They had HUGE bags in their minivan. I'd love to do that when Klaw is a little older.
