Jon, in the orchard
Jack and friends
Just a picture of a bunch of apple trees. Yesterday, our homeschool group took a trip to Carter Mtn. Orchard, outside of Charlottesville VA. This orchard is on the top of a "mountain." The same mountain that is home to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. It takes about 2 1/2 hours to get there, though it is a beautiful drive this time of year. We spent the day picking apples, learned about how apples grow (Jon called this part "apple school"), took a hay ride, and drank fresh cider. Apple snobs that we are, we decided that EZ Orchards or Daum's has better tasting cider and much better tasting cider donuts. These people here just don't understand the superiority of NW apples. I'm sure they'd all disagree. Now, what to do with all of these apples in this 90 degree heat!
