Apple Picking...in 80 degree weather

Saturday, we found ourselves in Baltimore, with no plans, no obligations, and nothing on the agenda that needed to be done. So we decided to take advantage of the last days of September and take Ryan apple picking. We hopped in the car and headed to Baugher's Farm, about an hour away. Ryan is clearly a traveler, and used to the hectic pace we kept this summer - as we got in the car, he asked me if we were taking a long trip! We arrived at Baugher's Farm and were excited to find out that a tractor carries the apple pickers to the orchard for picking, so we got a bonus "hayride" as well. We picked a peck of Red Delicious apples, although Ryan had more fun eating the apples, than actually picking them! After apple picking, we bought several homemade delicacies at the farm store on site, including some of the BEST pickles we have ever eaten! Yesterday the apples went right into apple pancakes and apple crisp - Yum! We had a lot of fun with a new activity that we hope to make an annual fall tradition :)
