After a busy weekend that included the Twin Cities 5K and extensive yard clean up, we met up with our friends Mike and Sarah, along with their kids William and Grace, for apple picking at Whistling Wells. Originally we were going to meet at the Afton Apple Orchard, but after Sarah informed us that the line was about a hundred people deep we went with her suggestion to try Whistling Wells. It was a good backup plan and perfect for our afternoon outing. Thanks Sarah!!
While there weren't as many honey crisp apples left on the trees we were able to snag a few and were also able to grab a couple of other yummy varieties. We ended up with a peck and shared them with my sister and dad. Before the photos, let me say that this was only the second orchard I've ever been to in my life. And, on this occasion, it was the first time I actually picked apples off the tree and even took a few bites without "proper" washing. I know, I know. Those of you who know me well are shocked I didn't bring along my own fruit washing supplies. That's what I call living on the edge! It was a great way to end the weekend.
