A couple weeks ago we headed East to the North Fork of Long Island to Harbes Farm & Orchard for some good old fashion apple picking. We met up with our friends the Sorbers, and ate apples until our bellies could take no more. The kids were in heaven - picking, eating, picking, eating, picking, eating! The weather was perfect too - sunny, with a slight fall chill.
We filled up our bags with Honeycrisp and Gala apples, and took a few homemade cider donuts with us as well. The kids loved the train ride back to the orchard, running around the apple trees, and checking out all the exhibits and animals that were out.
It really was the perfect way to kick-off fall. Now, we just hope this weather holds for a little bit longer...we're not quite ready for another East Coast winter just yet!
We also picked up a huge bag of fresh corn and split it with the Sorbers. We decided we needed to get together the following day to cook up some of that "candy corn" and had a yummy dinner. The corn was DELISH. Thanks for the fun day!
