Today we went apple pickin'. Drove up to Oak Glen and when we got there, it was 58 degrees and foggy. We bought our bag and started pickin. Wow! The trees were full this year. We picked Double Red Delicious, Winesap and Rome Beauty's. We ate lunch at Los Rios and shopped for our goodies to bring home. We watched as they made apple cider and decided we'll make our own next year. Amber and Alyssa have made cider but the little one's haven't.
We finished at Los Rios and drove to Snow Line to get our donuts. Cider donuts are the best! We tasted the different ciders and in my opinion, rasberry cider is the best and we even picked up some cider donut mix to make donuts at home. I think I'll stash it away for awhile since it'll be a year before we get more donuts. Of course we couldn't leave without Robert picking up his pie at Oak Tree Village. The kids love to walk around this place...there's so much to see. On the way out, we stopped at a place called Wood Acres. It's a farm and they have a varity of apples to sample. The folks there are so nice. They'll slice each kind of apple for you to try and answer all your questions.
We couldn't resist buying a few more apples there.
The weather was so beautiful today. Usually when we go, it's hot but today was cool and crisp and it felt like real fall weather. We came home, had apple pie, apple cider and sat by the fire and talked about what a great time we had! We always look so forward to going and once we get home, we are sad that it'll be so long before we go back. We're already planning for next year's visit!
