We've been figuring out a good time to doing some apple picking and decided this was this day to visit Sycamore Orchard. Teddy was on his best behavior sleeping through most of the picking!
The weather was a spectacular fall day, low 60's, no humidity, and all sun.
All the boys were pumped and guessing how many apples they could hold. Each one was responsible for carrying his bag and picking his own apples. I'll tell you what, they did a great job finding some beautiful apples and avoiding the ones with bruises.
As you can see, the bags are practically as big as the boys themselves.
Once I noticed they were having a hard time carrying all the weight, I decided it was time to call it quits. When the man officially weighed the apples we picked a total of 33 lbs. And at 60 cents a pound, that's a good deal! We visited the horses, played on the playground, and then ate apples on the way home. We left our home around 9:15 and didn't get back until 11:45, just in time to have a quick lunch and be ready for the school bus. It was a fun morning and one we just might have to replicate again sometime soon!
