Apple-picking Monday

We decided to celebrate Labor Day by taking a picnic lunch to a nearby apple orchard. The weather was amazing and we got the perfect picnic table under a big shady tree to enjoy our lunch. Owen only sat still for about 15 minutes, so we ate fast and then were off to do some pickin'!

We got a bucket and headed down the trail to the rows of apple trees. We got some Granny Smith and Gala apples. They were a little on the small size, probably due to how early it was in the season. We tried to find the pear trees, but weren't successful at locating them, so we ended up just buying a few of the picked pears they had for sale at the checkout tent. For only $4.45 we got a dozen apples and three big pears to enjoy! It was a fun afternoon and I'm sure we'll do it again in the fall. Maybe then I'll have the motivation to actually bake a pie out of the pickin's!
