The Apple Orchard

This weekend we drove up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. We had a picnic in a park and the kids rode bikes around the lot. Then we drove on and picked two huge bags of apples at the apple orchard. We had never tasted so many different kinds of apples! Our favorites were the reddish green stamen apples and a yellow apple nicknamed the banana apple. Very different kinds of sweet and tart. The weather was in the 70's and sunny. Dave and I looked around at the mountains, the fall trees turning colors, and then at each other--- I can't believe we live here!! It is gorgeous! I promise, I'll post pictures soon!
