JDaniel took charge of the basket they gave us for gathering apples on the way down the hill toward the Jonathan Gold. An apple guide in the store had said that the trees in that section would be just the right size for JDaniel to pick apples from all by himself.
They were right. JDaniel was able to gather a basket full of apples without even having to stand on his tiptoes. The Jonathan Gold trees were loaded down with beautiful apples.
Then we headed over to check out the goats who didn’t seem to hold JDaniel’s attention and the bamboo forest which did.
JDaniel wanted to know if there were pandas in the forest. I told him that there are not enough pandas in the from there to be some everywhere there is bamboo in the world.
The best part of the bamboo forest was this little bridge. It looked like we were entering a foreign land while crossing it.

What a great day and activity! Apple picking is one of the things I miss most about living there. I always hoped to take my kids and I haven’t been able to yet.
What are you going to do with all of those delicious apples?

What a great place! It has been years since I have been apple picking. Used to be the one thing in September that we did as a family.

That does look like a great place! We had apple trees growing up- nothing better than homemade applesauce!

What a fun thing for you to do with him. It’s always nice when the apples are low enough for kids to pick too.

Wonderful. I do love Apples, such a nice element of Autumn season 🙂
Kim @ The Educators Spin On It says
I’m so jealous that you get to go and pick apples, it’s one thing that really doesn’t grow well here in Florida. I just loved visiting my parents when they lived in Winchester, VA, the home of Whitehouse Apples.
