We enjoyed apple picking last year with a teensy little Charlie, but knew this year would be lots of fun with her little legs running her through an orchard. We went to Apple Hill Orchard up the road, where our MOMS Club had gone (though we didn't go then since we wanted it to be a family thing) and we've heard great things about it.
We bought our bag and got a tractor ride ALL the way up the hill.
The trees were full and perfect for Charlie's height. She was good at picking up the apples off the ground at first, and got the hang of putting them into the bag. She then insisted on carrying the bag until it was too heavy ... until she was dragging it!
(notice the bag!)
She was having SO much fun running from apple to apple and tree to tree, she didn't even care if we were there.
But she did like us to pick her up to let her pick some higher apples.
After the apples were picked, Charlie played on the playground for a bit and then we decided to climb into the giant apple for even more photos! This was pretty fun as it swung all over as you climbed in and out.
This little girl sat in the back seat and ate her first [whole] apple on the way home. When we got home, I scraped all of the skin she was storing in her cheeks like a chipmunk! I think every day for about a month after this day, Charlie walked around the house with a whole peeled apple in her hand - she asked for one multiple times a day. She loves them! YUM!
