Apple picking 2010.. Rach and Sabrena

This is where the drive started.. I liked the pic so when we drove passed it and I gasped Rach said we'd stop on the way back for this photo opportunity..


This is the same farm the Rach and I went to last year... It sprinkled on us the whole time and it was just the two of us having fun in the rain picking apples. We were the only 2 patrons that came to the farm at that point and the lady was so happy we came she put on warm cider right away and seemed to have as much fun as we did. She was there this time but I think she got a late start cuz we got there at 1030 and when we were getting ready to leave at about 1145 she was just getting there.




This is for anyone that might want to visit this place.. I like it...


The apple bags look like drums..



Excellent view..



I never really was good with rules... side note:.. backside not looking bad these days.. ;)


Bad girl....


I'm surprised we didn't get dirtier.. We went for the hard to reach apples...


Exhibit A


Exhibit B


Exhibit B-2.. Caught red handed...


Long rows... That's all really


My input on this was.. "I'm sure I've probably had pesticides before... I don't see why we can't eat them." Total apples eaten along the way.. 2. We ate part of a pear too but it was too hard.. Little did we know that on the sheet I got on the way out that we broke every rule that gets grandpa's blood boiling.. It actually says that on their info sheets.. "5 things that gets Grandpa's blood boiling."


Sabrena looks confused...



So that's it... A fun time had yet again this year picking apples. Rach is moving back to Florida and I am going to miss her. It was part of the reason this apple outing was so important.. One last hurrah... She leaves next week.. Though last year her and I said we'd come back this year to go apple picking again and this year we made it. So this year we made plans for next year to come back and go to this farm again.. probably later in the season though so we have more choices.

I got a large bag of apples, cinnamon apple butter, a pound of mini pears, and 3 small pumpkins (1 orange, 1 white, and 1 that looks like a watermelon) ok.. so I last minute decided to post a pic of those with my phone.. The big yellow one in the back is from last year and it's still good. The lady at the farm was pretty surprised that it was still ok from last year but it reminds me of the little octopus on finding nemo.. The one with one short tentacle..


I would like to go again this year if anyone is interested..
