For the past three years, we’ve been going apple picking with the family by train. This year, the AMT announced they would not longer organize the “escapades en train.” This made me very sad because I really enjoy going apple picking with the family. And since we do not drive, it makes going out of the city tough.
Lucky for us, my MIL was off on Thanksgiving and jumped at the idea of going apple picking with us. She loves spending time with her grandbaby and her big baby (Demo) and has these French pet names for them both (very annoying since she doesn’t have one for me *cries* lol).
Our little trip was a bit last minute, so we didn’t pack our lunches. We just took some water and hopped in the car. I ended up going online for a list of farms that were open on Thanksgiving and liked Verger Boutin, and it was only 30 minutes outside of Montreal (score!).
You guys remember my venting last year about going apple picking and not having any apple pies? Well, there wasn’t any pies this time either BUT, everything about the place was so amazing that I didn’t even care about pies!
Since I know pictures are worth a thousand words, here are some from our awesome family day!
Look at all the APPLES!!!! 🙂
Beautiful view

My Little Man had a blast apple picking. Want to see what he looked like the first time we went apple picking? Check it out on my page here!
The Verger was HUGE and had some delicious food. My iPhone pictures of the food didn’t turn out too pretty so I can’t show you how yummy it was *insert sad face* We skipped the pumpkin patch this year and just got some pumpkin from the Verger before leaving.
Hope you guys enjoyed this post as much I enjoyed writing it. Did you guys go apple picking this year? I love hearing from you guys

Apple season is long over down here, but we went over Labor Day weekend – and all the apples were gone in 2 days flat!

We just moved to an area with apple trees and apple picking is on my to do list. It looks like you all had a great time and like some could not wait to enjoy the treats!
Oh, how fun! I’ve always wanted to go apple-picking, but around here we can only pick strawberries and blueberries. Looks like a beautiful orchard, though!

In my neck of the woods, kids get a whole week out of school for harvest (beginning of October) just for picking apples. When I was younger and lived in “apple valley” it would suck during this time of year because the bees and rot smell from all the apples that had fallen gets bad.

I love this! We’ve never been apple picking.. not even sure that apples grow anywhere near us.. I’m sure they do but not sure where. What a fun experience.

Such great pictures! We’ve gone the past few years, but didn’t go this year.
I love doing this every year with mom! We have been picking apples for probably the last 10 years. We freeze them then use them throughout the winter to make fried apples or apple pies. There’s nothing better than fried apples in January!

I really wish our town had something like this to do with our kids. I absolutely love the taste of fresh picked apples, the ones in the store have been coating with wax.

We just got back from 2 weeks in the midwest and apple picking was still going pretty strong back there. I love the pictures of your little one both now and 2 years ago. How cute!
I haven’t gone apple picking this month but we are going to the pumpkin patch this weekend. No apples to pick there but we do have a corn maze to look forward to. 🙂

We still have apples on the ground in our neighborhood here. I wasn’t able to pick up pears in our pear trees this year either. It just went away quickly. Looks like you guys are having fun in your apple picking!

We have never gone apple-picking, but I would love to. We do pumpkin patches usually. I think we have to go out of state for apple-picking.

We still have a few apples floating around the orchards up here in MI. I love apple season. My husband’s aunt lives on an apple orchard. So yum!

My husband worked at a cider mill when he was young and considers apple picking an awful job, not a fun family activity. So we never go. . .your pictures made me jealous!

I love going apple picking but haven’t been for a few years now. Which is a shame since there’s an orchard only about 15 min. away.
You can see how happy he is at tasting that apple by his expression. The photo of the apples on the ground by the tree is super!
