Apple Picking @ Sky Top Orchard

 Baelynn gets busy filling her basket with Granny Smiths.

 I also helped pick as Granny Smiths are one of my favorite varieties.

Of course, we had to stop in at the Flat Rock Bakery for pizza and to pose with the giant zebra following our trip to the orchard.

A great September tradition in Western North Carolina is apple-picking at the Sky Top Orchard in Flat Rock. This year was especially special as my cousins Baelynn and Chandley made the trip from Greenville to pick with us this year!  We played on the giant spider, in the giant pumpkin and apples, on the slide, the playhouse, took a hayride, fed the animals, hiked in the bamboo forest, feasted on fresh apple donuts and oh yes, picked apples. Fun was had by one and all!
