Apple Hill

Mom has been talking about wanting to go to this place called Apple Hill. Her coworkers told her about it, saying that everything imaginable made of apples is there. Mom and Dad went Saturday with Linnaea. They met up with 2 of Mom's coworkers, Jodi and Kari.

Here's Mom driving the bus with Kari and Jodi in the back.

They were right - everything you can think of that is made of apples was there.

Lots of varieties of candy apples

(Mom took home two and devoured them!)

Caramel apple popcorn (which Mom ate too), apple bread and frozen apple pies

Different types of fresh apple pies

and all kinds of fresh apples with names that Mom had never heard of before.

There were also a variety of things such as Christmas decorations, jewelry, quilts, T-shirts, etc. You name it - it was there.

Notice the beautiful scenery. Apple Hill is located in the foothills surrounded by various orchards and vineyards.

As they were getting ready to leave, a flock of geese flew by.

Even in the fall with dead leaves, these vineyards are pretty as the sun was setting on them.

And then the sun set.

Now, I mentioned what all Mom ate and brought home at Apple Hill. Dad just brought home a fresh apple pie, which I had the opportunity of enjoying. Not because it was offered to me but because I was able to knock it off of the counter. YUMMY!
