Apple Picking Tradition

A long time tradition. Apple picking at Eckerts Orchards.

We have gone every year since Emily was about 2.

We always go before lunchtime...so we can sample LOTS of apples while in the orchard.

Rowdy always reminds the kids not to pick apples up off the ground (I think they know that by now). I always tag along behind with camera in hand. Rowdy always points out a "giant" apple high in the trees, and picks the kids up to pick that perfect apple. (They keep growing and it seems to be getting harder to lift them up.... the kids , not the apples)

We always get apple cider when we are done picking....

We always have a GREAT time.

I love fall.... I love apple picking...

I love my family......

Happy to make memories!
