Apple Hill

The first weekend in October we headed up to Apple Hill, as we didn’t go last year and the kids have been asking to go this year.

It was a nice day so we thought we’d go!

Apple Hill is up in the foothills towards Placerville and is actually over 50 different apple farms and ranches.  During the early fall, they all become a destination and if you wait too long and go anytime past mid-October, be prepared to be in a line of cars and crowds!  We went early in the season so it was perfect.

Many of the farms have pumpkins to pick, and the bigger farms have carnivals, stuff to buy/eat, hay rides, etc to try and get you to stop at their farm.

We liked petting and feeding that Alpaca’s at one of the farms. Marissa is determined now to have a pet Alpaca! 

We got a little sticky eating yummy caramel apples!

This was our pick for the farm that looked the most inviting!  They didn’t have much to do there, but it looked so nice we just had to stop at this one.

We had a great day and will definitely keep going early in the season! Much more happy with less crowds!
