Westview Orchards Trip - The Perfect Day to Pick Some Perfect Apples =)

Today is about 61 degrees, sunny with a light breeze. It is a perfect day to pick some apples. We decided to go to Westview Orchards in Washington Twp., Michigan, pick some fresh apples and enjoy some cider and donuts. =)

It's the first time for us to Westview Orchards. It is much bigger than we think. There are something for everyone. There areas designated for Family Fun, Bakery, Farmers Market and the U-Pick Farms.

After about 6 minutes of wagon ride, we reach the section of the orchards for picking apples. There are four varieties available at the moment: Red Delicious, Yellow Delicious/Golden Delicious, Jonagold and Cortland.

After all the hard work of picking apples, we settle down for some cold cider and donuts.

We have so much fun. Can't wait to go back to the orchards for some Fuji apples. =) Below are some more random photos from our trip. Hope you will be making your trip to an orchard soon.
