Apple Orchard

On Friday Katie, Will and I went to an apple orchard about 6 miles from our house. It was beautiful! The leaves were changing, it was bright sunny blue skies and no wind. The apple orchard was just the perfect size. I found out it's a family run business located right outside their front door. We enjoyed a wagon ride that took us out to pick apples, Katie fed a couple goats, we saw rabbits, and I finally got to enjoy a cup of hot apple cider.

Katie and Will picked 4-5 apples. (Yes, even Will was grabbin' 'em off the tree.) Thanks to Grandma Mary we didn't really need any more. She had bought us 2 bags the weekend before! However I DID receive an easy apple crisp recipe that we tried out last night, and it was very yummy.

Earlier that day we had gone to Will's gym class. I do have pictures, but Katie was much too busy to take many. Another little boy showed up because he didn't have school and He and Katie colored and drew pictures together for the entire hour. When they were about 18 months they were in gym class together. (If any of you remember us talking about Carter...) It was nice to see him again.

Other than that our weekend is pretty calm. The Obama sign has been re-erected across the street. I got Katie to settle on a Bumblebee Halloween costume. All is well.

Katie would pick 'em...

Will would eat 'em. (Till he started choking...we don't let him do that anymore.)

Oh yes, we also bought a pumpkin. There were so many great ones to choose from! A carving project for John in a few weeks.

Will was very interested in the hay.
