Donald and I took Abby and Emily to Blue Ridge last weekend to pick apples. We took Emily last year and had so much fun that we decided to make it a yearly tradition. Despite the long ride up, the girls had a good time eating apple fritters, taking a wagon ride, and picking lots of different types of apples. Check out Merciers Orchards at www.mercier-orchard.com for more information. They actually grow lots of things - apricots, peaches, strawberries - and you can bring your family to pick any of it. Good humor was fading by the end of the day but we made it home with no casualties- thank goodness for mobile DVD players! Now I've just got to figure out what to do with all of these apples...
And we're off! They like to sit in the "way back" of the car when we go on trips.
A little photo op before getting started
The girls were crazy for these coon skin caps.
We said no to the toy rifles but eventually gave in to the caps.
Huge candy apple - yum!
Abby opted for the marshmallow pop instead of the candy apple.
A little help from Dad is always nice
Gorgeous!

Love the way Emily rocks the rifle as if it were a guitar. Only a rock star would know how!
