Wedding

The girls have been looking forward to Denise and Kevin's (Dave's Cousin) wedding for a long time. Ella loves to watch weddings on TV and this is the first real wedding that she is old enough to remember and I think is was everything she expected from the dress to the dancing and cake. Daddy was her date of course.

Party Time!

The girls had a great time at Toree's birthday party last friday night. They always look forward to going to Lima for Pizza. We even got to bring left overs home this time. They loved playing follow the leader on the hay bales around the fire and bobbing for apples. Emma is still the champion and is not afraid of getting wet....no matter how cold out it is and it was COLD! Ella took the easy way out going for the apple stem.

Field Trip

Last week I was able to go with Taylor on her 2nd grade field trip to The Toledo Art Museum and MacQueens Apple Orchard. It was a great day and all the kids had so much fun.

Taylor picking the perfect apples. The kids all got an educational tour of the orchard, apple cooling, sorting and bagging area, and apple cider press. They each got to pick 4 apples to take home and enjoyed fresh apple cider and doughnuts.

Apple Picking

Last Sunday, we enjoyed a great day of picking apples at MacQueens Orchard. It was in the 70s with lots of sun and low hanging apples just right for the girls to pick. We got a good variety of Golden Delicious, Ida Reds and Jonathans. We also ate their famous apple cider sugar doughnuts with fresh apple cider to drink....YUM!!
