Apple Picking

We made a semi-spontaneous trip out apple picking this afternoon. The hope was that we would FINALLY be early enough in the season to pick the elusive honeycrisp apples...but alas, even mid September was too late and the honeycrisps were picked clean. We also apparently picked the most popular day ever to go apple picking - I have never seen so many people in an orchard at one time, and the line for cider donuts was so incredibly long that we didn't even bother (and that says something - we have an obsession with cider donuts). Other than those very minor blips it was a perfect apple picking trip - coolish weather, a hay ride, and lots of giant apples (and pears!) to be picked....
