Apple Picking 2013

My family has gone apple picking every Fall
for as long as I can remember!

 

We have pictures by the "How tall this Fall?" sign

dating back to when my brother was in a stroller  :)

 

Our usual spot, Skytop, has gotten pretty busy for weekend picking,

so we tried out a new place this year:  Stepp Apple Orchard

 

 Not exactly the same as Skytop, but plenty of apples to choose from!

It was so SO so SO so SO hot that we didn't get to stay too long.

 

It was still a fun family experience with my family

that has now become 12 people!

 

I'll just let the overabundance of pictures speak for themselves :)
