How 'Bout Them Apples?

My friends and I visited a nearby apple orchard the other day. We were all so excited to get in the fally spirit and make our appley recipes with freshly picked apples so we loaded up our babies, strollers and wagons to drive 45 minutes north of Charlotte.Crystal (who is 9 months pregnant with baby boy, Augustine), Dena and Audrey, Anne and Kate, and Hillary and Zack. Here we are faking our smiles even though we just discovered that there are NO EDIBLE APPLES!




Aw, Fiddlesticks! All of the apples were hanging on the trees with giant brown mushy spots all over them! Bummer! Dena asked the lady at the front counter if they had any good apples which she promptly replied that we'd need to go to the mountains for that. Gee, thanks lady for letting us know THE THREE TIMES WE CALLED BEFOREHAND!


So we had some cute photo opps instead.

My kids never look at the camera.


Greta found one apple for her and one for the farm dog.

Who was happy as could be
