Pickin' Some Apples!

Since we've already been peach and blueberry picking this year, it was only a matter of time before we added apple picking to the list.

We opted to visit Eckerts in Grafton again so that we could take the ferry (actually 2!) and stop by a farm on the way that sells enormous pumpkins for super cheap!

Lucky for us, Amelia's grandma and great grandma were along for the ride. Even though they aren't all from the same side of Jason's family, we still had 4 generations of apple pickers!

I didn't catch any shots, but we stopped by a small family farm in between ferries to pick out our pumpkins. I am amazed every year at the cheapness of these pumpkins. We got two HUGE pumpkins that were $2.50 each. Amelia also picked out a medium sized one for $1. Even the biggest pumpkins they had (the kind that you would need more than one person to lift), were marked at $5. There was, of course, also all kinds of jams and apple butters too! Yum!

After the second ferry, we were on to the apple orchard. Amelia thought that having her own little bag was pretty neat!

I am not sure these next few need much commentary....

From here on out, you may notice she has an apple in her hands at all times. I think she ate 3 apples during our visit!

Enjoying the wagon ride...

Apple still in hand...

Did you notice her apple shirt? I mention it only because I rarely am so coordinated to pair her outfit with the activity that we are doing. The shirt has really, really cute green corduroys that match it, but it was definitely too warm for those!

After picking our share, we stopped by a restaurant in Grafton for lunch. It was a beautiful day for sitting outside and enjoying the weather. I wish I would have gotten a picture of Amelia taking it upon herself to sit at the outside bar and order her drink separate from ours. She also asked the waiter (while he was behind the bar area) for a napkin. Does the entertainment ever end?
