9.29.12 ~ Apple Picking

Saturday Night Live said apple picking is the Mormon Mardi Gras. So, it was fitting that I got a recommendation for a new farm to visit from my dear Mormon friends for our annual apple picking trip. This year we trekked all the way out to Barton Orchards. It was far way but totally worth the trip. We piled into a rented minivan with our kids and Shannon and Mike to meet Kim, Greg and their kiddos at the orchard. We fed animals, listened to live music, jumped in moon bounces, slid down slides, rode a train, went on a hay ride, ate doughnuts, drank cidar, conquered the corn maze, and played on the playground. We almost forgot to pick apples because we were so busy. 

 Hey, hay.

 Give me that cup, lady. 

Head inside the train, Anna! 

 Pigs!

 Posed.

But this one is perfect.  

If we took him to a farm every weekend, his diet would be a lot more nutritious.   

Concord grapes are really good.

A rare family shot. And it isn't terrible.
