Two weeks ago we went apple picking. Yes, apple picking, in Utah! My BIL (brother-in-law) Bryce found a place in Midway that is open on Saturdays in September. We made it on the last Saturday in September.
Instead of walking around rows and rows of apples and hand-picking them to your heart's content, we had to spot apples high in the branches of 20 trees and hope our claw thingy could reach them.
When the claw couldn't reach them we tried some other methods- sitting on shoulders and just climbing the trees
While it was nothing like apple picking in the Northeast, we still had a great time and Sadie ate tons of apples.
Mostly by picking up apples from the ground, taking one bite, and then moving on to the next one.
Elise was more than happy to pose with an apple
When Sadie got tired of eating bruised apples off the ground she tried climbing the tree.
She whined when she couldn't do it.
Then she whined some more to sit on Dad's shoulders.
Happy about sitting on Dad's shoulders.

Happy to be on Mom's lap
Happy to be taking a snack break- something other than apples
The setting was absolutely beautiful. We will be returning every fall as long as we are in Utah

Wow. How beautiful! Looks like you hit the apple picking place at exactly the right "colorful" moment. It sounds like the apple picking out there is a little more challenging than it is here. It looks like fun!
That last picture is so beautiful. I love the one with you on Daniel's shoulders!
