For our September get together we went apple picking! Ally, Alice, Rosa & Gabi but no Roxie this month.
First up was the hayride to pick Honey Crisp Apples
Most of the apples there were up high, but the trees are not mature enough for ladders. It was clear that even at almost 8 years old these girls were not too old for rides on their moms’ shoulders.
Lots of apples were eaten – Gabi showed her no hands talent!
At the Cortland trees there were ladders! The girls loved them.
The climbed some trees to reach up higher.
But the ladder was the best.
At one point they were all lined up taking turns. It was so adorable! Julie even gave it a shot to get the perfect apple way up high! But then decided she liked picking from the ground better.
After we had filled up our bags of apples and a few pears we headed to the farm store and animals. Gabi was a bit startled by the giant scarecrow. But then she made faces at it.
It was a really fun day. Even if the line for cider donuts was so long the wait was 90 minutes! We skipped that, drank some cider, got the girls honey sticks and they conquered the hedge maze with Rosa’s mom Julie and Becky.
