On 10/1 we drove to Outhouse Orchards in North Salem to go apple picking.  I believe it was a first for all of us!

We rented this long pole with some metal teeth and a bag at the end of it to reach all the apples at the tops of the trees.  Andrew was a natural!

We also managed to find a few that were low enough to be reached, at Blaine + Daddy height.

Then we bought some homemade apple cider donuts, and some warm apple cider.  Yum!

Unfortunately, the yellow jackets were really attracted by the cider, and one stung Andrew’s hand on the walk back to the car!
