Apple Picking in Elijay, GA







Courtney you are slacking... this is three posts in three days? Whats up?

I know its late this year, but we made it again to our anual apple picking trip. There was only one apple still up in the trees.... the Rome Apples. They are huge and ofcourse were fun to get. We broke one of the rules and let our kids climb the tree to get them...Yes, we made sure it was big enough to hold their weight first. It was a lot of fun, they had a petting zoo there too. Anna fell in love with one of the baby goats. There was this little boy there who was grabbing the pigs tail and following him around while he and the pig squeeled with glee (the boy that is)!
I don't think the pig liked the game quite as much. The hardest part when doing an outing like this one is when you enter the main area and are tempted by all of the baked goods and the jellies, peanuts, ciders, and other goodies for your taking.
I am so excited theat the kids enjoy this family time as much as they do... they have been asking to go for three weeks!! Love it! Needless to say we had an absolute blast just being together they are so much fun!! I think they loved climbing the tree the most.

On the ride home, the girlswere playing in the back of the car and singing some reallly cute songs!! It brought back so many memories of Alison and I playing the same kind of things when we were that age!
