Apple Picking

A few weeks ago my parents came to Atlanta and then we drove to Ellijay (in the north Georgia mountains)to go apple picking. They usually do this in North Carolina so compared to that the choices were not great! But after settling on a small farm we got started. Most of the trees were picked over and the apples we wanted were no longer on the trees so we mostly filled our bags from the apples that were already picked. But we had a wonderful time.

This marked the entrance to the apple orchard which was the perfect place to take some pictures.

This was my favorite of the ones we took on the hay.  I love the look Marianne is giving my mom!

  We stopped the wagon on the way into the orchard to look at the view over the valley. 

I did get a picture of the view but this smile was too sweet not to post!  Marianne just loves being outside!

Off we go into the orchard to get our apples!

The orchrad had a petting zoo on the weekend. 

We couldn't pet them but Marianne loves watching these guineas run around!

And check out these turkeys!  They are perfect.  They even gobbled for us.

Marianne could have watched them (and the goats) all day!

Marianne played with the apple as much as she ate it but she seemed to enjoyed it. 

And she has really enjoyed all the apple goodies we have made!
