Family traditions- Apple picking!

One of my absolute favorite family fall activities is apple picking.  It has become a tradition for our little family and I hope it continues for a long time!  Sunday was the big day and the weather was perfect- bright and sunny with a bit of a chill to the air.  Perfect weather for a hoodie and my new Toms boots!  We all piled in the truck and off we went!

The only problem with apple picking on Sunday was that it appeared the ENTIRE COUNTY had the same idea!!  We waited in line, on the road, in our truck, for about 40 minutes,  UGH  But, once we finally did get inside, we had a great time!  The kids had a blast running around, picking apples, and especially eating apples.  It's quite possible we ate more apples than we actually picked!   We did get quite a haul though (and some cider donuts and cider too!) so I will be scouring Pinterest looking for some delicious apple recipes!!!


















Have you been apple picking yet?  If not, you should go!!  Do you have any other special fall family traditions?  What about some apple recipe recommendations?

    This year was our 2nd Annual apple picking weekend, and I have to say, it's the best thing to make an annual adventure out of. Everyone looks so happy (despite the traffic, it's worth it right?)

    It looks like you guys had a great time! I wish we had an apple orchard nearby as I LOVE going apple picking! We went all the time when I was growing up!

    We went a few weeks ago. I've done applesauce and apple crisp but still have some left. Your pictures were great! Enjoyed reading.

    We don't have apple orchards here in Florida but I am hoping to take a trip this Fall to go pick apples. It sounds like so much fun! Thanks for joining us for Hump Day Happenings.
