We grabbed a couple bushels and a stick for reaching the apples all the way at the top and headed over to the orchard.
With our apple grabber and Maura's milkbraids, she and Mitch very closely resemble this famous painting...
I continued to annoy the group by documenting every apple in the orchard... for posterity of course.
The ones at the very top are always the best, no?
It helps to be 6'2"...
It was the perfect fall day. After one to many cups of apple cider, apple donuts and bags of kettle corn, we called it a day... but not before picking up a pumpkin or two.
What are your favorite fall activities?
Such gorgeous photos, I hope you had lots of fun! xx

DeleteApple picking is so fun and such a perfect fall activity! I went once up in Washington and even though it was pouring, it was so fun!

It looked like it was going to rain all day, but it remained overcast which make for the best pictures!
DeleteI also went apple picking this last weekend, lovely pictures! We didn't get a cool apple grabber though!

For sure! Thanks for checking out my blog :)
ReplyDeleteI've never really thought about apple picking before. I've done strawberry and gooseberry, but apples would be must easier. Love it x

Apple picking sounds like a fun Autumn activity! And I've never seen a apple picker before.
