This has become an annual tradition for us to get together in September and go apple picking. We were sad that Gabi could not join us due to a soccer tournament. But the other 4 had a blast.
I brought my big camera to the orchard and was pretty happy with my pictures.
We met up with Rosa and Julie first. After a quick hayride and jaunt thru the orchard to look for honey crisp apples.
We were all sad that the honey crisps were all picked. Becky grabbed two apples for us to try from a tree she could reach over the ropes.
Rosa and I shared one of the honey crisps. Ally was freezing and all bundled up in her athletic-wear pants and black fleece. I swear she is starting to look more like a pre-teen every day.
We met up with Roxie – and then Alice too!
There were so many apples on some of the trees.
As usual the climbing the ladder to pick up high is lots of fun. Alice picked one for her mom Cheryl too. Becky was a good sport moving and footing the ladder for the girls.
Ally and Roxie are pretty tight – these girls were so happy to see each other and spend time together. Roxie’s mom Mary Beth helped Roxie on the smaller ladders.
Julie and I worked hard to get pictures of everyone. She looks great solo above, and Alice and Rosa are full of toothy grins.
After we filled our bags of apples we dropped them off at our cars and took the hayride to the farm stand for cider, donuts and apple cider!
Roxie solo, and then Cheryl, Mary Beth and I were photo-bombed by someone’s caramel apple.
That was Alice’s apple! Love these pictures of Alice.
Rosa and her mom.
The girls begged to do the hedge maze. We agreed, but only the small one. They were in and out in 15 minutes.
Ally in the apple orchard. I think I love her more every day.
