Apple Orchard

Today,
we checked another thing off of our fall bucket list.

We headed out to the Apple Orchard
after Blake's last class at 4pm.

It's located about 20 minutes
east of Lubbock
and was such a neat little place;
we will definitely be going back!

They have a big calendar of which apples
are picked and when
so you can decide based upon what type of apple you want
when you want to go and pick.


Blake with our bucket
ready to fill it up

but too bad the drought
kept the apples ridiculously tiny this year

picking "a winner"

another tiny apple

This place also has a full garden
so we picked up some fresh okra,
jalapenos
and freshly made apple turnovers!

We also noticed while there
that they serve lunch daily
and the Friday special is
Chicken and Dumplins,
yummy!
We will definitely be going to try those out soon!

Hopefully,
Lubbock will get some good rain
this next spring
and we will have to try the apple orchard again
when the apples are an eatable size.

Happy weekend!
