This weekend we were lucky enough to have Ben's little sister, Gabi, stay with us... so we thought what better thing to do than to go to an Apple Orchard! I've heard about them and wanted to experience it myself so we thought it'd be a lot of fun to take Gabi... so we did!
We also took some friends of ours, the Pina's. We all had a great time getting to know each other and being in the beautiful weather God provided for us this weekend!
Our first stop was the Smith House for lunch... the mix of Southern food and family style dining makes for a yummy meal! These pictures are outside of the historic restaurant.
After lunch to the Apple Orchard we went. This picture it taken right inside the store they have... soon we were surrounded by many apples!
You could cheat and buy already picked apples, but we picked our own!
This is the entrance to the orchard. It was a hilly orchard, but it came with great view or the surrounding town!
Each row of trees had a sign with the type of apples you could pick... so of course the Rome Beauty was our favorite.
Yummy apples!
Gabi picked all of our apples.
Of course there was a petting zoo...
And in the end we got to shop in the store for all things apple. I got my apple butter, we ate fried apple pies and drank cold apple cider! Yum! Now it's time to make yummy dishes with all our apples. :-)
