Details on Picking Apples with My Kindergartne
Both JDaniel and I tried climbing up the trees to get to some of the apples that were out of our reach. Climbing inside the tree also helped us keep warm and dry. It had started to drizzle a little by the time we reached the rows of Galas apples. The temperature had started to drop too. It was way warmer inside the tree than it was outside the tree.
Due to the weather I would say that we spent as much time in the trees as we did out of them. After a long time moving through the archway of branches created by the trees and climbing up them, we both stopped to take a rest. I just love this picture of JDaniel. He looks so comfortable sitting in the branches.
Apple doughnuts are something Sky Top Orchard is known for. Despite there being a really long line for doughnuts, JDaniel thought we totally needed to wait. After tasting one, I totally agree with him. They were really wonderful. Actually we decided to eat a second one just to make sure they were really good.
It sounds like something that you will remember forever 🙂 A great way to bond with your child is to have a wet and slightly chilly adventure together 🙂
This reminds me of my childhood , I gew up in Norfolk UK not far from the Royal estate of sandringham, when my aunt with a car came to visit she would drive us out to get apples from the royal estate .
Mmmm I could go for an Apple donut.
What a great childhood JDaniel is enjoying! It’s great that you now feel he is old enough to climb trees, which makes apple picking all the more fun.
My grandkids love going to the apple orchard about as much as any excursion their mom takes them on. And like you, she takes them on a lot of them!
=)
Adorable little man and so adventurous ~ wonderful and loving photos ~ thanks, carol ^_^
Oh my gosh, Deirdre, he’s getting so tall!
Oh how fun this is! Climbing and eating and all that’s outdoors is super duper fun time!
What a fun adventure!
I hope you made caramel apples after that!
Such a fun time!
Look SO fun! We’re going to GA in a week for a little vacation and plan to visit an apple orchard. I’ve never picked apples before and CANNOT wait!
Very funny, I like those pretty pictures, good apple picking!
Looks really fun! Lots of apples and that would be good for apple crumble too 🙂
Wonderful, wonderful day! I loved picking apples, cherries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries throughout the years growing up and with our children. What fun JDaniel must have had climbing and successfully getting the apples! :o) And the apple donuts sound amazing! Gala apples are one of my favorites …and Brigadoon! I love that movie :o)
Blessings & Aloha!
And thank you for stopping over…yes, I thought what a wonderful idea our son and daughter in law had to have their wedding guests share their favorite scriptures in what they will have as their family bible. :o)
Apple picking is totally on our fall bucket list, too! :)-Ashley
Apple picking with your son — nothing can beat that! JDaniel definitely looks at home in the tree and I bet he had a fabulous time! Oh, and I agree that apple doughnuts need to be eaten in twos — you just gotta make sure they are as delicious as you thought!
That looks like so much fun! I do not think I have even been picking apples before…..that needs to go on the to do list…
we have never picked apples.. but those donuts sound great.
Wow! Those were some apple trees! I have a picture of our apple tree in my Joy4Today blog this time, but our tree limbs were much smaller in diameter! Fun thing to do with your precious little son!
How fun!
He looks right in his element in that tree!!
I remember taking trips like this one when my kids were younger…
Those apple donuts definitely sound like a well-earned treat… Maybe later you can have some homemade apple pie…
I’m glad you had a terrific time up in the trees!
Thanks for linking to the letter “T”.
