VA Apple Orchard

We spent a few hours on Friday at Carter's apple orchard near Charlottesville, VA. It was a glorious autumn day, cool in the morning but warm and sunny that afternoon and comfortable under the apple trees. Everyone chomped apples and had a grand time, made even better with friends there, too. Owen was chief apple picker this year and was just eating his first apple as we were ready to leave; he had been too busy picking to eat! We accidentally picked Fuji instead of Gala. . . Even Tate seemed to think they were delicious! I am so thankful for Braden's lightened school schedule (yeah for the third year of law school!) that allowed us to visit the orchard on a Friday, and I am thankful that we live in this beautiful state where we can pick apples for many weekends in the fall and also enjoy stunning mountain vistas. This was a sweet life moment!
