We made plans to go apple picking with Iris, Steve & Peter and Timery, Steve & Jason after our last very fun group outing to Drumlin Farm. Unfortunately the weather this weekend has been the antithesis of autumn in New England - today it was almost 80 degrees and VERY humid. We managed to have a great time nevertheless!
We got to Russell Orchards in Ipswich, MA at 10am and it was already really busy. Thankfully we only had to stand in line for about 10 minutes to get on the hayride out to the orchard. The kids loved this part because we were pulled by a tractor.
Once we got to the orchard, there was a map and all the rows were labeled with the different kinds of apples grown there.
There were definitely a lot of people out today, but things didn't feel too crowded once everyone dispersed in the orchard.
There was more eating than picking going on most of the time! The apples were delicious!!!
It was hot hot hot but we did make sure to get a few good pix.
Hayride Part II
There was a nice pond with ducks and a big goose, where we had a picnic.

Derek headed up the picking process and organized the kids.

The kids goofed around (and ate more apples) before heading back to Boston. What a fun day!!!
