Max and I went apple picking at Carter's Mountain Orchard one morning after dropping Sean off at his Living Earth School nature program. We had high hopes for picking lots of apples. Unfortunately, the trees were picked (almost) bare. After a long walk up the hill (you can see from the pictures that we're on top of a mountain) and a long walk through rows of bare trees we found a tree with 4 good apples on it. I picked them and Max immediately enjoyed a fresh picked apple. He carried that apple all the way down the hill and back to the car, taking bites out of it along the way. One of the great things about toddlers is that they are thrilled by the smallest things- so to him this trip was a huge success. (We went to pick apples and we got 4!). And I enjoyed the beautiful view on a beautiful autumn day and Max's cheerful company.
