The Shepards were back in the apple-picking business this year (after a one-year hiatus involving the snake-bite incident).
This year we went to a farm in East Brunswick with the Hoffman clan of Bridgewater.
We all met a 11 am and headed out into the pumpkin patch. Marni had some trouble with the vines, but she prevailed.
Next were pony rides for Stella and Tyler and then a hayride for all but hayfever-afflicted Brian. We saw all types of crops and animals.
A picnic lunch was followed by lots of apple picking. Then we piled our tired broods into our respective mini-vans and headed home (we headed to the Atlantic Antic to visit with Bubbles and the Leons).
