We were surprised to see only one or two vehicles in the parking lot when we arrived at Dunlap's Orchard off of Arlington road. We were quickly greeted by an employee who informed us that due to large amounts of spring rain the apples have a lot of blemishes and the price tag was half off.
She also mentioned that the apples were few and far between but if diligent, we could fill our bag.
I brought the camera with me thinking we might be able to snap some fall photos like we did last year, but quickly realized that probably wasn't going to happen. The trees were boid of both apples and leaves.
We found a low branch for you to relax on and it turned out to be one of my favorite moments captured on "film"
The fruit may have been hard to find but that doesn't mean we didn't enjoy some family time together walking around among the trees and doing our best to hunt down the perfect apple!
Having not had a nap, it wasn't long before your head was resting on my shoulder. Mom and I did our best to top off our bag before purchasing some fresh cider and heading home so you can rest.
And, by the way - the apples may have had some blemishes on the outside, but the fruit was some of the sweetest and juiciest I've ever tasted.
As the old adage goes, don't judge a book by its cover!
