Apple Picking in New York

I love fall. It is the best time of year. The leaves are changing here in New York and the air is crisp. It is not cold and it is not hot. It is just right. In this perfect time of year there are so many family fun things to do. Apple picking is usually on the top of our list for the fall. It is so much fun to go to the farm with the kids. They love getting on the hay ride and riding out to the apple orchards. It is the best part in their eyes. In my eyes the best part is that we are all together.

With all of the hustle and bustle of ballet, girl scouts, 4H, and drama classes it is nice to get away for a day of fun all together. The girls love picking their apples and I think that there is a certain pride that comes with doing it yourself. They go to school and tell their friends that they picked the apples all by themselves. To top it all of apples are quite healthy for all of us! We love to go to Soons orchard in New Hampton New York. It is just an hour ride from New York City and well worth the trip.
