September Apple Picking

We had some schedule changes today and ended up taking an impromptu trip to Afton Apple Orchard. We ate apple donuts, the kids played on the playground, and we picked (and ate) raspberries and apples. This year the kids were super into the playground and so we actually spent the majority of our time there. They have a giant stack of tires and tons of other unique playground equipment. Chris and I got some rare time to sit and chat with each other while they played. Raspberry picking was next. Oli and Jo both ate their fair share and Oli actually picked a bunch of raspberries this year. Almost an entire container! Lastly we picked some delicious Zestar and Cortland apples. Fun afternoon!

We spent a few days in Madison and got to meet Izzy's new kitten and her siblings. The kids loved the kittens and we had a blast with Izzy and Bodie while Shell and Graham celebrated their 10-year anniversary. Congrats you two!

May Day

A few photos, just for fun, of our May Day. The crab apple tree in our front yard is blooming, which is one of my favorite things all year. It's beautiful and smells so good. After lunch we went to Lake Josephine (first lake trip of the season!) and the kids had a blast playing in the sand and water. And Chris and I got a few minutes to ourselves to sit and watch them and drink iced coffee. May is off to a good start!
