Ah, September is near! As a parent of four children, that usually meant getting ready to go back to school – like the old TV commercial said, “the most wonderful time of the year.” But seriously, for me it means apple picking! Nothing conjures that fall feeling more than a car (or two) full of kids, excited to go on our yearly outing to the orchard.

Where we lived in Sussex County, they were plentiful within a 15-minute drive.
