At long last!! -I am FINALLY home for the Fall (the true, red, orange & yellow fall!) so that I can pick apples... my FAVORITE thing to do in Nova Scotia in the Fall :D For as long as I can remember, either our family or the youth group would go to the valley for Apple Picking... the orchard
s always have free apple cider for you and you fill up your big clear plastic bags with either 5 or 10 lbs of MacIntosh, Gravenstine, or Cortland apples -and of course, you can eat as many as you'd like while you are picking... my absolute favorite are the Cortlands... mmm
:)This year, my first apple
picking was with mom and dad... we also got pumpkins too -we spend the whole day in the valley which was really nice -I'd forgotten how beautiful it is down there...We got lots of fresh veggies, stopped for curd at the cheese factory, ate fish and chips at a little
fishing cove -it was an awesome day!The next time I went apple picking, it was Jenn's Birthday, and a bunch of us went. I don't have a
picture of it, but I was attacked by a ladder at one point, then a big apple fight began -dude... those really hurt when they connect with you!! :) (you can't really see it, but in that picture there are a few apples flying through the air!)
It's so nice to be home, doing the things that I've missed for so long, with the people that I've missed for so long :) I am enjoying Nova Scotia... just in case you couldn't tell...

too bad you forgot to mention the part where I was up that tree and you all threw apples at me??!
That was a super fun day.
