He had been there with Marioocheee after a mountain training ride and wanted me to taste how wonderful the pizza was. And...he was right! It was absolutely fantastic!!! It wasn't like any other pizza I'd ever had!
The flavor was so good and rich! Yummy!!! The pizza place was so busy that we placed our order to go and while Dynamo and Daddy waited Momma and I ventured over to Crozet Park to the Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival. Anytime there's a craft show...we're there!
Unlike many other craft shows we've been to, everything there was entirely handmade. There were so many lovely things from pottery and wreaths to chairs and glassware and food galore!
It was such a beautiful day to be shopping outside. The place was so full of activity and talented artists!
After we made our purchases we hopped into the truck and headed back up the road to the orchard! We weren't the only ones who thought it was a beautiful day to go apple pickin'...
The line getting into the orchard was miles long! It was worth the wait! The view from the top was spectacular!
There was a flurry of activity at the barn.
We hopped out of the truck and knew exactly what to do with the map they gave us! We got right to pickin'...
This was Momma and Daddy's first time actually pickin' apples! Of course Dynamo isn't afraid of anything. He climbed right up and started pickin'...
Momma and Daddy were so cute stuffing their bag with apples...
We picked and picked and wandered for a long while...
I was pickin' and didn't really pay much attention to the little girl until all of a sudden she said to me, "Hey!"...
Her name was Olivia and she was pickin' apples with her grandparents. She was so adorable and as friendly as she could be!
Dynamo is so funny. I looked up and he was walking down the row with an apple balanced on his head. Silly!
So, with our bags full we took some family pics!
Daddy and Me!
Dynamo and I!
Momma and Daddy!
While the guys went to pay for the apples, Momma and I were on a mission to get the fabulous apple cider donuts!
We waited in line for a while, but they were well worth the wait...
We sat and devoured them enjoying the view!!
Then, our tradition is to take our pic inside the worm hole of the giant wooden apple!
Inside the apple barn there were loads of jams and jellies to be bought...
Along with lots of apples! Their apples can be found in local grocery stores such as Kroger under Crown Orchard Company! Yum!
We had such a great time just enjoying the day as a family! The only one missing was Lexi! It would have been a little too much for the old girl! Daddy was constantly worried about her!
Check out this cool skeleton on top of the building...
The road out was filled with apples...
If you are ever in the area be sure to visit Carter Mountain Orchard!
Until next time...
