Apple pickin fun!

My sister came into town for a weekend this fall and we decided to take the kids apple picking at Mercier's.  My grandparents visited Mercier's every year when they would camp at Vogel State Park in the fall so it always brings back good memories.  The weather was perfect and we ate our way through the orchard.  Fortunately, we got there right when they opened so we were able to avoid some of the crowd.  You could eat as many apples as you wanted and we think Ben sampled about a dozen.  They had a tiny petting zoo and pony rides that the kids loved.  Another favorite part was the fried pies!  When MB was about half way through her fried pie, she looked up and said "this is the best day ever!"  We ended the trip with a stop at Poole's BBQ in Elijay.  Such a great Saturday!!!
