Apple picking is an annual tradition in our household, it's practically a holiday. For the past 6 years we've made the trek up to New Paltz, New York to go to Wrights Apple Farm.
Last year the six of us crammed into Mike's car, which was not very comfortable as well all remember. So this year I got to ride in the trunk of Chris' car which was surprisingly comfortable. They always stick the little person in the trunk, I'm used to it by now, they almost left me in there a couple times but I got out!
When we arrived this year we were shocked to see it so packed. In the six years we've been going there we've never seen so many people there at once. Of course it was probably because we've had some bad weather and this was the first real nice day to go apple picking so everyone wanted to take advantage. Once we waited in the long line to get our bag we were off to the orchard. Unfortunately the bad weather also resulted in some muddy apple fields which then also lead to there being mosquitos. We got eaten alive out there, Mike got one right on his forehead.

One we got past the muddy fields, which stunk so bad, the mosquitos, and the heat, we were all sweating, we were able to pick some great apples, and have fun doing so. After all the picking and we had stopped at the farm stand to stock up on goodies, like delicious cider donuts, apple cider and maybe even a small pie we headed into town to go to dinner. I think though next year we'll be trying a new restaurant after two years of bad service at this place. But it was another successful and fun apple picking adventure!
