Since we didn't have any plans for Saturday, which is rare, we decided to go apple picking. We drove for about an hour and a half upstate towards Spartanburg. We pulled up to Niven's Apple Orchard. It was a great day -- surprisingly cool for South Carolina. I think it was in the low 50's outside with a cool breeze.
It is a really cute place, however I should have called to find out if they had any apples left. They do, but they were all picked and bagged up. With no apple picking, only apple buying, we walked around the farm, checked out some cute baby goats, bought 2 bags of apples and some muscadine cider, and were on our way home within 15 minutes of arriving. It wasn't a total loss though. I got some Arkansas Black apples, which I never heard of before, and some Winesap apples. So it is a little more special than the grocery store apples. We took a few pictures.
We love to carry Lily, and today it worked out really well since Jay got to keep her warm. She loves the carrier too!
And the two loves of my life. With matching hats, kind of.
And a close up of our sweet girl! She was great the whole time, in the car and for all 15 minutes outside. Its hard to tell, but her eyes are slowing changing color. Right now, her right eye is darkening faster than her left, so she has two different color eyes. Its not extreme, but noticeable. We can't decide if they are turning brown or green. We are hoping for green, but she'd make brown look good too! It was a really nice day. Now for a nice bowl of spicy chili, made by Jay himself!
