Summer was for strawberries, Fall was for apples.

Returned to the Annapolis Valley to go apple picking with church friends at Noggins Corner, first time I’ve ever gone apple picking. There were huge orchards with rows and rows of different varieties of apple trees, thousands of apples overhead and underfoot.

I learned that I like Cox Orange Pippin apples, and do not like Kestrel apples. Ezra’s trying a Gala:

There was also a pumpkin picking field, an expansive playground of hay bales and farm equipment, and a giant corn maze, which changes every year. This year’s theme was “dinosaurs.”

We didn’t actually navigate the entire maze but instead wandered the “mini-maze” tucked into a corner, which gives you an immersive corn maze experience without being an all-day adventure.

Came home with a nice big bag of assorted apples to last for weeks after.
