apple picking!



yay, it's september and fall is practically here! on wednesday, we were supposed to go to sesame place, but as it turns out, the park is only open on the weekends. so we decided to trek back up to northern new jersey to alstede farms and we ended up picking our own produce. i used to go apple picking every year with my own family but I haven't since I gave birth, so this is Sofia's first time. i forgot how much fun it is. i miss going with my family though, but with just us three it was the beginning of our own family tradition.












we got apples, peaches, eggplants & raspberries.



fuji apples




the animals there were so friendly.




picking raspberries



you could also cut your own flowers there



there was us and a few other people there, but the farm is so big that it felt like we were the only ones there. it was nice to be surrounded by all that greenery and it was so peaceful and beautiful, it was truly a perfect day.

  2. Annabella, these are beautiful photos. I keep looking back at the first three, especially. Also, your daughter is adorable with the apples! I wish I could go apple-picking and bake my sour cream apple pie!

  5. I love the tones in ALL of these. The last one is so beautiful.

    In sort of related apple-news, I was eating an apple today and took a huge bite, and a piece was kind of hanging out of my mouth, and my puppy grabbed it and ate it. Sorry, that was gross. But it happened. Not a fuji apple, though.
