On the weekend of Ryan's birthday, we took a short trip to Richmond with a stop at Carter Mountain Orchard in Charlottesville. We've visited the orchard every year since 2008 when we first went for Ryan and Bryan's birthday weekend (except last year when we visited their sister orchard). It's become a tradition for us, and it works out really well because we just combine it with the team picnic for the Richmond team at Ryan's work. We usually stay closer to Charlottesville, but since the hotel was about $50 cheaper near Richmond and the picnic was near Richmond, we just drove straight to the orchard on Friday and then drove back to Richmond to stay the night. Parker definitely enjoyed Carter Mountain.
Just ridin' with Daddy (uphill)...poor Ry!
Ryan Appleseed.
Reaaaaaach...
Got it!
Just walking through the trees. Parker kept falling to the side on top of rotten apples and red clay-dirt. It was not easy to take pictures because I was constantly having to help him up off the ground!
Trying to pick up a "puh-ke".
Enjoying one of the famous apple cider donuts. YUM! Seriously, so good.
Our fam. I was impressed--the guy that took our picture only took two pictures total, and they were halfway-decent! Parker's looking at the camera, so that was a win for this one.
Stay tuned for Halloween pictures....there are TONS!
