Auntie Anne's Apple Farm

We kicked off fall break by driving three hours to Winslow, Az to the apple farm there.  We caravaned up with the Kash's.  It was so much fun.  We picked apples, ate apple pie, picked our own pumpkins, went through a huge corn maze!  What a packed day!  It was a long day trip, but so much fun to explore Winslow!  We missed Markie, as he stayed back with Aunt Kim and hung out with her and Alex and Ben for the day.  We hope to make it a tradition as it was a blast.  I can remember visiting an apple farm as a kid, and there is nothing like taking a bite out of a fresh apple just picked off the tree!

Lizzy's Birthday

As usual I told Lizzy absolutely no slumber party for her birthday, and sure enough we had about a dozen girls spend the night for her birthday.  This year we decorated pillow cases and filled coke bottles with various sand, shells, etc.  It was a lot of fun as usual.  Lizzy chose to have all gymnastics friends over this year.  We also celebrated as a family at Oreganos.  We had a great dinner with Aunt Kim and Ben and Nancy joining us.
