U-Pick Apples

tyler | October 8, 2006

Saturday we drove south near Lexington, KY to a U-Pick Apple farm.  Great fun was had by all.  We listened to a banjo player, watched a chainsaw wood carver, took a ride on a hay wagon and feed some corn to some lambs and a donkey.  Oh yeah…we picked Golden Delicious apples and I picked up 24oz of blackberries to make into jam…yum.

Something about little girls and apple picking - I dunno

Something about little girls and apple picking - I dunno :)

My parents took my sisters and nieces out apple picking (they do every year, actually) - and while I’ve never made it back east to share in the fun, I adore the pictures of them enjoying the day.

And the girls always gorge themselves on fresh apples right off the trees *heh* I see your youngest one likes to do the same :)
