apple picking

for the past 3 years we've gone apple picking each fall. i love it. i love fall and i love fallish food and the colors and everything. so this year, i was determined to take oliver apple picking. it turns out there are several places to go around here (and when i say around i mean an hour or so drive). we decided on a place called sun high orchards. i read about it online and saw that in addition to apples and pumpkins they have a market and a petting zoo! it's in new jersey and it's supposed to only be about 40 minutes away. we got there in pretty good time and really enjoyed ourselves, however, the trip home basically canceled out the joy. it took us over 4 hours to get back into the city! this was the second time we've gone to jersey and both times it has taken this long to get back. so we've decided we are not going to new jersey ever again. sorry jersey.

here are some photos of the good times:

i was really wanting a picture of him in the pumpkin patch, he hated every minute!
