Apple picking?

OK, I've only been in Minnesota for a couple of years and before that I spent 19 years in Florida. Now, in Florida there are no seasons. It gets "chilly" for a couple of weeks in the "winter" and that's it. We got pumpkins from the grocery store, and none of the groves let you do something like pick your own fruit. So apple picking was a completely foreign concept to me. I mean, I understand the concept - go to the orchard, pick an apple - but I didn't see the point. Now I get it completely. There ISN'T a point. You just go and eat hamburgers and run around in the corn maze and stick your kids in the trees. No point at all. Loved it.
