Do you take your kids apple picking?

I have never really taken them apple picking, except on their Kindergarden feild trips. But we used to visit this huge apple orchard that has a Christmas store, animals, pony rides, hayrides and other fun things. My husbands band is playing at some apple orchid on Sunday and we get to bring the whole family. I am so excited. We have skipped our apple orchard trips for the past couple years, mostly due to money issues. I am hoping we go back to the one I love this year too. We always get the donuts and cider.

Yes we do they love it.. The hayride to the orchard and the cider and doughnuts round out the afternoon..

We have went apple picking every year for the last 4 years. We kinda made it a little tradition. I sometimes use the apples to make pies or applebutter....YUM! I am living in a new place now so I am going to try to find the nearest orchard. I hate to break traditon.

Nope, never have.

Not to an orchard,but we do pick apples at dh's parents house.

I haven't because I don't think we have any apple orchards in our area. Alabama isn't really known for it's apples.

Yes, we kind of started a tradition of it too. The kids love it. It's a nice family thing to do. I will make apple pies, apple crisp, apple butter, and nothing like baked apples with pork chops.
