Apples in September

Apple picking in NY was one of my favorite traditions.  We took the girls apple picking every year.  Apple picking in PA just isn't quite the same.  We have a beautiful farm not far from us but they haven't allowed people to pick their own apples for the last few years.  I miss having the girls pick their own apples from the trees, but we have learned to love our local farm too.  We took the girls two weeks ago and they got to choose apples from the bins inside the beautiful shop.  They also enjoyed a cider donut and apple cider!  We did walk through the orchard to look at the last few apples on the tree and to take pictures.  Of course it was a miserably overcast day with nasty glare, so the pictures aren't my favorite (sad).
