Apple Picking

On Sunday we left Asheville for Sky Top Orchard for apple picking. I am not sure who was more excited to pick apples, Emma or I. I envisioned huge trees full of apples but I quickly learned that most of the ideas my little sister had planted in my head about this trip were not true.

After driving another hour to get to the orchard we reached our destination and grabbed our baskets to begin picking apples. Unfortunately it was hotter than (well you know) and we were all in sweaters and pants (thanks to Dani who told us it would be cold). That was the first bummer, the second was that the apple trees had been pretty picked over. We walked the entire way down the orchard in the heat to finally find apples and by this point we had all turned on Dani and her fantastic apple picking idea. Luckily Emma didn't care about any of this and was happy to climb up in the trees with Dani and get apples to fill her basket. She had a great time and in the end it's all that matters, even though Dani is officially banned from planning our trips.
