Apple Picking 2012

This year we took our apple picking trip to Stewart's Farm in Yorktown Heights. In years past we've gone further up the line, past Woodbury Commons, and although that farm had some more activities with which to entertain the children, we appreciated the shorter drive.

We started our day in the bakery and got delicious (but so bad) apple cider donuts, pumpkin muffins and popcorn. Y U M!

After that, it was off to the orchards to pick, pick, pick the apples. We wound up doing more talking and picture taking than apple picking, but thankfully Uncle Joe was on the job! Justyn was throwing apples, Sammy was trying to find good apples, titi was taking pictures and the rest of us were not focused at all. Ha!!

We had a wonderful time. The weather was fair, but the cool autumn air kicked in as the day got later, and being on our feet got to us by the end of the day.

Next adventure -- pumpkin picking ... But that's in a month!
