Pickin'

We discovered a new "you pick" farm in Elkhorn. It's clef the Apple Barn. It was a nice size with better prices than Elegant Farmer. The downside: it was flooded with People from Illinois. Lots of yuppies picking apples in evening attire, and ball gowns. No, it wasn't that bad. But we were laughing about the faux fur, coordinating couples, and high heels. 


Here's marks "Apple Hat". He wore it all day, and it he was quite pleased that it enbaressed us....
No, it was just a funny coincidence that the sign was behind him:)


He was sooo eager to pick apples that we had to stop him from eating the yucky ones on the ground.


      He's packin'. Front-packing that is.

This is the kind of yard I want for our children! Apples every morning. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!?

Laiken loved sucking on apples while we walked


This was pretty cool. A grove of trees that they had planted really close together and then fenced off the inside to make a maze.

Cool! I want to check this place out. I've never really done apple picking. An orchard would for sure be cool -- even a little one. Someday when we buy a house, I'm totally planting an apple tree.
