Apple Picking

Last weekend, Matt and I headed out for my most favorite Midwest activity, apple picking!  Since moving to Chicago, I have looked forward to this activity every year.  Because of the frost late last spring, apple orchards were low on supply this fall, so we headed out a little earlier than usual just to make certain we could partake in our favorite fall tradition.  We've tried two different orchards in our time here, and our favorite is by far Jonamac Orchard in Malta, Illinois.  About an hour and a half outside of Chicago, it's a beautiful drive and an easy daytrip.

And of course, we finished the day with a delicious and fresh apple cinnamon donut.  I'm certain heaven will have will have an unlimited supply of those little lovelies; they're so yummy.  We heard the orchard expected to run out of pick-your-own apples later in that afternoon, so if you're planning to go apple picking this fall, make sure you call ahead to ensure you get a good supply.  Is anyone else excited to go apple picking?

And of course, a few Instagrams from the afternoon at the orchard...
