Apple Picking and Parade

I've been wanting to take Ben apple picking and decided to do so this past Saturday with my mom (Mike had to work). I found a place about 30 minutes from our house and called to get all the details. We wanted to get there right when it opened at 10:00 a.m. so we left my house promptly at 9:30. However, we couldn't get there due to a parade. We decided to stop and enjoy the parade since we couldn't go any further anyway. It ended up being the Shriner's Parade we saw and it was a very nice unplanned and unexpected activity. Below are some pictures. We never did make it apple picking. When I called to get new directions after the parade (some roads were still closed down) we were informed that apple picking wasn't until 1:00 p.m. that day - an important tid bit of information that wasn't told to me the day before.
