\nBeyond a trail of evergreens were the Bellewood Acres’ orchard. Here you can pick your own apples!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThe cozy, wooded trail opened up to a wide expanse of land.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nyou could see the mountains a bit more clearly from here.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nthere were even horses! \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nthis one had a very beautiful color, and quite the haircut!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nthe maple trees were very large, and looked perfect for climbing<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nAt first, we wanted to strategize our apple-picking by surveying all of the different apples there were – but they were just too irresistible. We picked so many immediately!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nBrendan was especially enthusiastic in picking the perfect apples – he was able to get ones neither of us could reach too!!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nIt was beautiful just walking down the rows upon rows of apple trees.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nI’m so used to seeing Granny Smith apples, that I assumed the Orin apples (and subsequently all green apples) would have a tart flavor to them. Boy were we wrong!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nso abundant!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nSince we came a little later in the season, many of the apples had fallen off or been picked already. Next year we’ll definitely come earlier!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nWe saw this and wondered how long it’d been there to get like that. <\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nEverything comes back to nature in the end.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nOn the other side of the “road,” the tractor wagon pulled along other pumpkin patchgoers as a man walked (well, jogged) with his dog behind. The mountains were even more visible here. <\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nAfter filling up our bag to the brim, the sun came out! The sunlight behind the corn maze gave a beautifully golden glow.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nWe went back to the shop and bought cider donuts (yum!) as well as a bottle of their own sparkling cider.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n We also took one last round at the corn cannons :p we even got to shuck our own corn! <\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nDaniel’s last shot made a huge BOOM! sound when it fired off.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nOn our way home, Brendan took us to a tea shop where he introduced us to one of his favorite drinks – taro + matcha boba. Coincidentally, these are the two flavors I always alternate between! I’ve never even thought of combining the two into one drink, but it was amazinggggg.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n The night was spent watching the first few eps of Stranger Things, slicing apples to make caramelized apples, and cooking chicken pesto melts. So yummy!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nWhat I didn’t realize was that to make caramelized apples successful, you shouldn’t cut up the apples beforehand… I’m so sorry TT___TT so our caramelized apples were a bit of a disaster visually. They tasted super yummy though! haha<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nWe ended up watching Anastasia during dinner and fell asleep pretty soon after. \ud83d\ude42 It was a very, very beautiful way to spend the day. Thank you for reading!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
