Apple picking...






This year we have been picking our fruits with kids it started as blueberry picking now that we are in to Fall we are still picking. This is a new experience for us and for our kids. It was fun to use all these produce in jams and jellies and to get them involve in the process. 

One of my co- workers mentioned a farm about pick your own apples and I asked Little Nicolette if she would like to go. Her instant reply was a yes. 

After lunch we decided to head over to the farm to pick our own apples. Line to get in was way too long it has to do something  with the timing. Many families were trying to get in before they close for the day which was by four that was my feeling. 

The line was moving to the pace of a tortoise we figure out to go with the flow. Observations around the neighborhood which leads to the farm grounds was interesting to name few neighbors had chicken coops in their yards and even signs for bunnies for sale. Both our kids were fast a sleep from the ride even though it was only less than half an hour. The price for pick your own apples was a bit too high comparing to the supermarket. One from the line was complaining it was a rip off! 

However, if you work in numbers, there was no parking fees, and ten pounds for $22.00, I do not know what to say. We were not offered apple cider nor donuts. It was way too busy and too many people in the orchard. I had no idea what kind of apples we have picked but we have ten pounds of them. They are bit sour, sweet, and juicy!
