Second Annual Apple Picking

The boys joined MH and Jim at Sky Top Orchard near Flat Rock, North Carolina, to pick apples for the second year in a row. This year, we waited until later in the fall so the Fuji apples would be ready for picking. We won't wait quite so long next year because it was windy, rainy and cold! Also, the apples close to the barn had been picked over pretty well so we had to walk a long way in hilly terrain to get to trees still holding lots of apples.

The apples in these pictures are actually the Pink Lady variety. We picked them because they were the first ones we came to! We bought some Fujis at the barn.
