Apple picking is always a much loved activity (despite the unmentionable incident involving Elizabeth's nose from many years ago) and this year the kids were looking forward to it with great enthusiasm. We managed to meet up with uncle Dave and auntie Karen's crew and enjoyed a nice hike through the woods followed by the traditional 30 seconds of apple picking. Ok maybe 5 minutes. It was very interesting to note the ages of the trees at various points throughout the orchard.
