Yesterday, we took a family trip to Justus Orchard in Hendersonville, North Carolina. Believe it or not, I’ve never been apple picking before.

I was a little disappointed there are very few varieties of apples you can pick. Most variations there weren’t ready to be picked yet.

I always imagined apple trees to be bigger. But they were much smaller in person.

They do have a great petting zoo. These handsome donkeys were definitely among my favorites.

It’s also a bit hard to ignore Buck the horse. They also have chickens, peacocks, and bunnies plus some goats too.

Princess L spent sometime jumping on the jump pillow. All the kids there look like they were having a great time on it.

I will admit the apples in their store look better than the apples growing on the trees you can lay your hands on.

All things said, I had a good time. Just too hot weather wise that day to me.
