We enjoyed a fun family day this week going Apple Picking with dear friends, Seth & Carolyn. We met early Monday morning and after a Starbucks trip (gotta love Carolyn and our shared love for iced chai's!), drove the 2 hours up to "Skytop Orchard", which was a few miles from Hendersonville, NC. We all laughed once there because there were no apples! Really- Carolyn spotted ONE apple on the top of a tree, and Wesley found ONE rotted one on the ground! So funny! We still had a great time. The scenery was beautiful! Alathea & Wesley enjoyed Seth taking them on a wagon ride all around the Orchard in search of apples. Alathea loved collecting "flowers" (dandilions) and rocks in her basket...she couldn't care less that there were no apples. The Orchard also had animals, a wagon ride, playgrounds & hot apple cider we all enjoyed. Alathea especially loved the pumpkins...she even sweet talked her Daddy into buying her two little ones, which are now priceless treasures to her! After our Apple Orchard adventure, we headed to the quaint town of Hendersonville for some exploring & lunch. We ate a local soda shop before heading home. A fun day! Maybe next year we'll bring home some apples too :)

Great Fun! Are apples still available? They told us they didn't have many to pick because of the drought this year. Hopefully we can go next year...
So fun! I think that's the farm we went to the first year we had the kids - beautiful!!! Is it about 30miles from Blowing Rock? They had apples that year though...no frost! : ) The frost was a bummer b/c it killed all the blueberries this year too. So sad! But glad ya'll had a great time anyhow!!! ; ) That's the attitude to have! ; )
