A Day at the Orchard

Today we drove up to Sky Top Orchard for apple picking.  It was a cool, overcast day, and we started out warming up with hot apple cider donuts.  These donuts were so delicious and I actually watched the cook make our batch to order, talk about fresh!
 Then, we hit the orchards.  
There was an abundance of apples on the trees and we had a blast picking them.  
 Sullivan picked his first Fuji apple and bit right into it.
(and then proceeded to take a bite out of every apple that we picked)
 We filled 3 buckets piled high with Fuji, Gala and Granny Smiths.
 After apple picking, we explored the farm, had a picnic lunch...
Played in the Giant Pumpkin..
 and ended with a hayride around the orchard.
A day at the orchard with our family - it couldn't have been any sweeter.
