Sky Top Orchard

Like every good mom of a toddler I thought we would have a family day and go apple picking and pick out a pumpkin. Fun, right? Flat Rock has a beautiful place called Sky Top Orchard. We went this exact same time last year and it was peaceful with not a lot of people there. As we drove up the mountain we found ourselves in a long line of traffic going up and a steady flow of traffic was going down. When we arrived, it blew our minds! There were cars and people everywhere! Marley couldn't get to any of the play areas bc it was wall to wall kids. We were going to go apple picking, but the line to get a basket and then weigh the apples took about thirty minutes to wait in. So, we decided to go over and get a pumpkin. Wrong! The pumpkins were limited, and the lines for those were super long. Btw, it was super hot today. Marley was exhausted from the late night out at the football game, and she wasn't in her most pleasant behavior. We also had her dressed really cute for pictures with the pumpkins, but every time she sat down there were other children and adults all over her (not to mention their feet were in the pic). One final note on my disappointing family day....I have never seen so many little girls with gigantic hair bows in my life.  Marley wears hair bows, but not the kind that look like they are going to eat her head.  I was able to get some cute pics so I will post them late tonight.
