On Saturday we tracked down an apple orchard about a half hour south of us with my neighbor Lisa and her little girl. And it was awesome! We have been to orchards before and I just have to say: Apple Annies, eat your heart out! This was by far the most friendly and enjoyable experience we have had. The owners, a husband and wife, were so easy going and personable. They had over a dozen different varieties of apple trees, pumpkins, rasperries, grapes, chickens and all the different homemade type things to sell in their shop. We went on a tractor ride first that took us down into the orchard.
Then, on the way back up we stopped in the pumpkin patch and took some pictures and got a couple of pumpkins. As happy as Lydia was to get a break from the stroller, I don't think she liked all the weeds and grass all over her.
Last was the raspberry bushes, and that was my favorite part. We caught the bush at the end of the season, so we really had to dig for fresh berries, but my kids loved it. We got a ton, nearly filled the bowl, and the man only charged me $2.00, since it was the end of the season! The best part was watching Lydia and even Noah chow on them.
About posting on my blog. And wouldn't you know, the week after I get my new computer I misplace my card reader. And what is a blog post without pictures, right? So I hemmed and hawed and searched for my card reader, to no avail. Come the weekly diaper run to Walmart I decided to look and see about a new one, because my SD cards are almost full. What do you know...$9.00 for a new one...seriously! I fretted for nearly a month and could have bought a new card reader all along. So does that mean I am spoiled? That it makes more sense to just buy a new one than work to find the old one?
Jason just got in today from a week long field rotation, and you can guess the first thing Noah picked up from his gear...
We recently attended an army sponsored marriage retreat at the Ski Resort in Breckenridge Colorado. And we had a blast! This was the first one where everything has worked out for us to go, and I would totally recommend it to any army couple who has the opportunity! So thanks to Angie for letting me in on the Picasa secret, I have a wonderful collage of the pool pictures we took at the hotel.
