Girls day out w. Niko at County Line Apple Orchard

It was a hot day for apple picking in October. We drove out to County Line Orchard in Hobart, IN. What a difference driving another 20 miles into Indiana makes! Great produce markets everywhere, fresh from the farm. It was a beautifully planned girls day outing, with Niko in mind, a day out with the Aunties. Unfortunately he did not nap enough before hand, so after eating lunch and playing ball with other toddlers in the picnic ground, he was real cranky once we got into the orchards. He was helpful, at first, picking up apples to collect in our bag, but, once he tripped over some apples laying on the ground, it was over! I carried him most way through the rows of Fiji and Shizoku apples, and many other types of apples I had never heard of but had run out of energy to pick, with the sun beating down and draining us. Fun day though and will definitely do it again... the right way... with a cozy scarf and hat so we can sip hot spiced cider afterwards!
