Skytop 2021

We were excited to take our annual trip up to Skytop to pick apples this year. We took advantage of Ava’s fall break and went on a Monday morning. It was amazingly not crowded at all when we got there, which was so nice. We had heard that the orchards didn’t have as many apples this year due to a late freeze in the spring so we prepped the girls on the fact that we may not be able to pick apples. Well, we decided to get our donuts first thing and while we were waiting in line for them to open up we watched an employee erase the chalkboard that had info about pick your own apples. A few minutes later, a lady came to the board and started writing a note that u-pick was closed for the season. Thankfully, they had plenty of apples in the fruit stand so we were able to enjoy our donuts, apple cider and bring home a big bag of Pink Lady apples. We also enjoyed playing on the playground, walking around the orchard, going through the bamboo forest and seeing the animals. We especially loved the gorgeous peacocks. It was a fun day in the mountains!
