Over the years I have heard a lot of great things about Sky Top Orchard, but just have never been. We decided to check it out this afternoon. In all my years I have never been apple-picking (there are a lot of firsts for me lately…last year it was my first time at a pumpkin patch!) Miss Maddie is certainly going to be a world traveler, because we love to take her places! Sky Top is an amazing place, but boy does it get busy during this time of year! It was packed with people, so we decided to grab our baskets and head to the trees furthest away! Thank goodness for the BOB stroller, because no ordinary stroller would have been able to endure the hills, mud, and apples!
Maddie had a great time picking apples and eating them, too! As usual it was hard to capture any sort of smile from our very serious child, but we knew she was having fun the whole time. We picked many different apples, including Red Delicious, Cortland, Ida Reds, and some others that we have no clue what they are! We ended up with a little over a half-bushel, so I have some plans to make some apple pies and maybe some applesauce! After we were done we checked out the store and bought some apple fritters and apple cider donuts, which were both DELICIOUS!
We look forward to picking pumpkins in the next few weeks! HAPPY FALL!
