Time to Go!
It was time to bag up our apples and pay for what we had picked, except the granny smith..we bought those instead of walking 3 country miles. As you can see….Kylie bagged up her own!!! After paying they all went to the car and I decided to treat everyone to apple cider donuts. I had no idea how they tasted, had never eaten one. (We wanted a group picture before we left, so Cayla put the camera on the hood of the car. Of course in the one with Dalton I have my eyes closed….i have been doing that lately….what is the deal!!!) Here is Kylie trying the donuts…she is picky about some foods, as you can tell on her face she was not very sure…but to her surprise they were awesome. Late that night, we noticed 2 of the 12 donuts were left….I thought wonder who will be the lucky two to get those last 2. I could just imagine a cup of coffee with that delicious,scrumptious, moist , melt in your mouth…o:k-----I did not get up early enough to get one, nor did I need it, but I wonder whooooo ate the last twooo??? Did someone sneak in the night??? Or did they eat it with coffee or with a soft drink? Hmmm, who stole the last donuts from the donut jar??? I will anxiously await the confession!!! Ha!
They also had a bamboo jungle!
While the three of us went on to check out the animals and such, the other three went and sat under the shed to rest and relax!!! Alex in the jail of bamboo.
Kylie and Alex entering the jungle of bamboo. It was pretty dense!
Animals
On the way back from the orchard we spotted these animals. Alex and I took Kylie around to see them, thanks Alex!
Fun at the Orchard
Here are some funny photos…notice Alex in the first photo and note the apple sign to the far left..pink sweater…pink lady apples. Kylie and I share an apple. Mom with her double protection sunglasses giving the 0:k sign and eating an apple with no hands as Dalton hides from the camera. And Kylie still picking apples to put in her basket!
Pull that wagon!
The wagon was heavy, go Dalton! Cayla stepped in to help, then Kylie tried, but was pulling Cayla’s pants down, notice hers are also falling down! Alex gave Kylie a lift. Mom is stopping to rest a bit, she tried to flag down a ride, but the guys just kind of laughed. Two of our bunch said…if I had know it was going to be this much work, I would have stayed at home!!! Hee haw! Fun times!
Kylie
Kylie enjoyed this so much, she just could not stop picking, notice the picture of her cradling the two apples…this was on the way out and she said,” There are some more Momma J”. 
Pretty Girls up in the apple trees.
We missed the sign that said, not to climb the trees….its just they are so inviting!
Picking Apples
Kylie loved the orchard and did not want anyone else putting apples in her basket! I love the picture of her sweet little hand picking her first apple!
Sky Top Orchard
We stopped for gas on the way and a bite to eat. Arrived at the orchard, found out that most of the apples that were close to the store had been picked, so we would have to walk a ways to get apples…and over some hills, I might add! We got some baskets, and a wagon and then headed out. 
We were so thankful for Dalton, he pulled the wagon for us...it was pretty heavy empty! Thanks Dalton!!!

On our way to the Apple Orchard
Missy let the Dowdy kids take a field trip instead of school on Friday. We were so excited that they came with us. We traveled to Flat Rock NC to visit the Sky Top Orchard. Here we are on our way! 
Alex took a nap, she was tired form lots of activities…volleyball for one. She reminds me of her Mom in this aspect.
Missy could always sleep…sure wish I was more like that!
