Apple Picking!

We went back to Mercier Orchards this year to pick apples, but this time we made sure we went on a weekend so we could actually pick there.  We first had a picnic lunch and then we headed up to pick apples.  Garner was excited about his ride on the trailer hooked up to the tractor.  When we got to the orchard the first place we headed was to pick some granny smith apples.  They are definitely popular as it was difficult at first to find some on the trees.  We finally found some and enjoyed eating a little and picking some.  Garner was our little picker for the apples up high and he did a great job.  After we found some of those we went and tried some others and picked the ones we liked.  It got pretty hot and Raleigh and I were ready to sit down and head back.  Garner was fine as long as he was eating an apple.  Jason quickly finished picking and filling our bag so we could head back.  We then had to go in the store and buy some fried apple pies...yum!!  We had a great time, but were pretty tired.  Raleigh and Garner both took a little nap on the way home.
