Apple Picking

Today we went up to Hillcrest Orchards near Ellijay to go Apple Picking. It was a little overcast and sprinkly, but not too bad while we were walking around.

This place was pretty awesome. You can pick your own apples. There was a petting farm with pygmy goats and chickens running free. You could hold baby chicks and kittens, and see a baby cow and pig.

We got a big bag full of apples, petted all the animals, milked a cow and picked up some Apple Cider donuts (my favorite, plus, my sugar was low).

 Petting Farm:

 Maggie got to milk the cow. She was totally into it, even though the much older boy before her was freaked out.

There were a bunch of playgrounds (and a putt-putt course) but after Maggie went down one slide we realized that everything was a little too damp and muddy for playing. Next year...

We got a lovely lunch and some girls came by giving away cupcakes, which Maggie (and Mama) enjoyed greatly.

 Oh, she also got to ride a cow.
