Sky Top Orchard






On Saturday, September 24, we headed out to Sky Top Orchard. Apple picking seems to be a really big thing around here, and we had never been. I thought it would be a good adventure for us, so we decided to load up and check out the place. It took us about an hour to get there. Jackson was an extremely pleasant rider and even fell asleep the last ten minutes. When we arrived, we made a few pictures in those things that have a cut-out for your head. Then we headed to the play area. Jackson had a great time swinging, running, and going in and out of a playhouse. Then we headed to pick some apples. We only picked about a dozen because we really don't eat that many apples. I plan to make a pie with the ones we picked. Jackson thought he was such a big shot picking apples and tossing them in the bucket. He ran pretty much the entire time we were there and started wearing out toward the end. He wanted to be carried, then down to run, then carried, then down to run, etc. His little legs just weren't strong enough for all the exploring he wanted to do. We paid for our apples and bought some apple cider donuts for the road. Let me say that it was worth the drive just for the donuts. They were amazing! In all, we were there for about an hour. We had a fabulous time and will definitely plan on making this a yearly event.
