Sky Top Orchard

Today we took the boys to Sky Top to go apple picking! This was our first time and we had a blast! Once we pulled in we knew it would be a long day b/c everyone was there. It was perfect weather and not a cloud in the sky! Once we figured out what we were doing and where to go, we headed for the orchard. B was serious about picking the apples. Before he picked them he would ask to make sure they were just right ha! We let C pick one too, but he only cared about eating them. We spend the majority of the time picking the apples. We got Jonathon, Gala, Fuji, Cameo, Pink Lady, and Granny Smiths. We ate some along the way too ;) After a quick potty break in the woods for B (ha!), we trucked ALL the way from the end of the orchard, up the hills, and back to the barn. We bought the apples and some local honey, then let the boys play in the pumpkins. B was climbing all over them and C tried to copy B. After that, we went to see the barn animals. B fed all the chickens, roosters, peacocks, and turkey. We pet the goats then headed through the bamboo forest. It was really cool in there! We also made a stop at the sheep, and I'm SO glad we did. B ran up and started petting one of them which surprised me b/c he's usually scared. We got C out of his stroller and let him pet the sheep too. We gave the boys some food to feed them, but B was afraid of their tongues, so Bri and I fed them most of it. We gave C a handful to see what he would do, and he stuck his hand out and let the sheep lick it all up! After a good hand scrubbing we headed back to the car, but before we made it, B wanted to sit on the tractor. We had a great time and can't wait to go back next year. We're definitely making it a tradition!

Mmm thats good!

LOVE this one!

So after we got home, I decided to make an apple pie with some of the apples (since we have like 50!). It was my first one and I think it turned out pretty good. All the taste testers said it was delicious, especially B!

Our 1/2 bushel of apples!
