Apple Hill 2015

This year we got a chance to head up to Apple Hill in Placerville which is one of my favorite places to visit. It's beautiful, refreshing and everything pertaining to Fall lies in this place. From the colors, to the smells, to the views, to the tastes. This place is a must see if you ever are in Northern California. When we go we make sure to hit a few of our favorite spots.

Rainbow Orchards

Home of the Hot Apple Cider Donut. I'm sorry you LA donut lovers, you haven't tasted a real donut until you have tasted this. It's made when you order and given to you warm. They have an entire barn filled with awesome produce and I really loved tasting the Arkansas Black Apples, great texture, meatiness, sweetness and beautiful color. Make this your first stop in the morning before hitting up the rest of Apple Hill, they open at 9am. Perfect place to start your morning.

In the second picture while my dad was holding Jonathan he grabbed an apple out of the presorted bins for sale and took a bite out of it. We ended up buying that apple. So funny. He held onto it for a good majority of the morning munching away.

Zeke couldn't wait to get his hands on one of these. In the third picture below Zeke isn't looking but Jonathan is about to steal his donut.

Did I mention the beautiful grounds? It's so nice to be in a place that's just filled with vitality. Things are fresh, crisp, colorful. People are nice, industrious and know the value of hard work and patience. It's on my bucket list to own my own orchard one day. I want my hands and feet in the dirt and I want to see the sunrise on my own land. And I want to share with my family the legacy and the rich blessing that God gives through something so simple.

Over the weekend the weather dropped about 20 degrees in one evening and we had an amazing downpour of rain. I just love it when it rains. Some of us were prepared and some were not:)

We ended the weekend with some pumpkin carving.
