the full bagan apple pie demonstration, cider making, and apple crisp eating later, we headed to the next orchard, where we ate masses of bbq and picked masses of arkansas black apples. afterwards, we stopped at another place for fresh cider and apple tasting. fuji? good. rome? not so good.

later, while the ryan and the mom napped in the car (weaksauce!), annie and i went roaming for pumpkins… but with no luck. we had to hike thru an orchard, past a log cabin with a recipe of ho cakes posted on it, all the way to a sad little field of hay with ugly pumpkins… and came back empty handed. boo.
