Apple picking and friends

We have been having a great fall! The girls continue to enjoy school. We went on a field trip with Stephanie's pre-k class to a fire station last week and Liz got bored. In front of the captain, she said, "I don't like this place". Nice. I am just glad that this station is not responsible for protecting our house!

Last weekend we had the opportunity to go to NC to pick apples! We left on Friday afternoon and came back Sunday evening. It was a great weekend! Steve's mom (aka Nana) was able to come along, and the girls were overjoyed. Danielle is still talking to her on her toy cell phone! We met some friends at the apple orchard on Sat. and picked a whole bushel of apples! Needless to say, we don't need to buy any other fruit for a while! The girls took apples to their teachers and clasmates on Tuesday and everybody enjoyed them. And yes, we still have some left!

Yesterday we spent the morning at St. Mtn park hiking with Frannie and her mom Ellen. We had such a good time hiking on one of the islands. The girls fed some ducks and collected leaves and rocks - yippee. We then had a nice picnic lunch together. I love fall and the cool weather! Enjoy some pictures of our weekend adventures!!
