Another year of picking apples is in the books! We have been picking apples each fall since 2012. It is something we really enjoy doing as a family.
Here are all our past years (in 2016, we picked apples in Maine!)...
Here is a beautiful panoramic view of the orchard...
You can hear the rooster crowing in this video...
Our favorite orchard to pick apples in is at BJ Reece Apple Orchard. We like this orchard because it is open during the week. We have gone to the orchard on a weekend before it is crazy crowded. We prefer going early and when it is quiet. Sometimes autumn can be still quite hot in Georgia, so we like to go early in the morning before things heat up.
Entering the orchard, we were greeted by orchard kitties and the animals of the petting zoo...
We were ready to go picking (Rome Apples and Golden Delicious were the trees that were ready to be picked that day)...
Doug put Bri on his shoulders once again. I told him he was crazy! He refuses to break tradition - even though Bri is 13!
After picking, we enjoy browsing the country store (the fried pies are to die for)...
After spending the morning apple picking, we stopped at one of our favorite bbq restaurants on the way back home...
We also like to stop at our favorite country market on the way home as well. Doug picked up this warty pumpkin...
And I used some of the apples we picked to make a yummy cobbler!
I love picking apples with Doug and Bri. We will keep doing it until Bri decides she is done with it. I hope that it won't be for a while. And who knows, Doug and I may continue to go in years to come even when Bri starts her life independently from us. It is a fun way to usher in the fall season!
