Apple Picking

Today we went apple picking at Windy Hill Orchard, about an hour and a half north of Columbia. The boys had a grand time picking apples, slurping down apple cider slushies, and gobbling down the freshly-made cinnamon and sugar donuts. I must say it was a little odd to be picking apples in 90 degree weather, dripping with sweat in the shadeless orchard, and cooling off with apple cider slushies, rather than jaunting around an orchard in crisp fall weather, wearing fleece and downing hot spiced cider at the end of the afternoon.
