Mom and Dad are here for the weekend, and we went back to the apple orchard in the mountains today. Unfortunately, it's the end of the growing season and there were a few apples at the tops of the trees and a lot of apples on the ground. We did find an apple variety that appeared to have recently dropped off the tree, and we filled two buckets with "ground apples."
Josh and Chris used this apple-picking tool (provided by the orchard) to get a few apples from the tree tops.
We also found a few woolly worms, which were celebrated in the annual Woolly Worm Festival at a nearby town today. Hopefully we can attend that next year!The weather was beautiful in the mountains today, and we enjoyed a picnic, feeding the farm animals and a hayride before heading home.
Molly is upset here because she face-planted climbing onto the hayride.
