Weekend in Photos // Apple Picking

Monday, October 21, 2013


I can't remember the last time I went apple picking in the fall. It's something I always want to do and never get around to, so this year, when we're together in Minnesota without many plans, we decided to go. It was a chilly Saturday morning and we stopped by our new favorite coffee shop for some almond milk lattes to to before driving about thirty minutes east to Afton Apple Orchard in Hastings, Minnesota.

It was kind of dreary and cold out, but we listened to my autumn playlist on the way and by the time we got there I was practically giddy with excitement. If all the cute, bundled up kids and the hayride out to the orchards weren't charming enough, the petting zoo stationed by the apple cider press really sealed the deal.

I had the best time. Good coffee, beautiful autumn weather, a romantic stroll through an apple orchard, and a couple of llamas. I don't ask for much, but I managed to get it all in one morning.

  1. That first apple looked like a honey crisp, but after the next few I'm not sure. But if it was, aren't they amazing? I wish we had some orchards to go to around here. It's hard to find a good one down south; I'm used to the north. We went last year when I was pregnant, but I want to take the babe. =[

  6. I love fall activities like this. Something about being outside on crisp, even dreary days, is wonderful, especially when you can come warm up indoors with a mug of apple cider!

  8. So fun! I went apple picking a few weeks ago and had a blast. I would have preferred the fog! It was hot and sunny when I went. Not at all like fall.
