Today, we officially kicked off the fall season! In the first of many fun activities, we spent a good part of the day at the Apple Orchard :)
The girls slept better last night, but still not great. They were up VERY early, but luckily we tricked them into going back to sleep (after a short time anyway). Once we were up for the long haul, we ate some breakfast and spent some time relaxing and hanging out. It was a little gloomy all morning, so we had our fingers crossed that the weather would cooperate for our big day outdoors.
Finally, it was time to get ready, and hit the road. In tradition, we were off to Aamodt's Apple Farm, and like last year, we met up with my BFF and her son Andrew. Of course, Olivia couldn't get enough of him all day, like usual. The kids had a blast riding the tractors, picking apples and just acting like goofy kids. We filled up our bag, picked up some yummy apple crisp and cidar in the shop and were off on our next adventure...Teddy Bear Park in downtown Stillwater. I've wanted to visit this park all summer, but we never made it out. The kids had so much fun, it was great. And, being in Stillwater reminded me of our summer vacation to Duluth. I don't know why we don't spend more time in Stillwater...it's such a great little down, right on the river.
The kids were pretty worn out, so we finally packed in it, and made the long haul home for the night. Christian went out with a friend to watch the UFC fights, so the girls and I hung out. It was a rough start. I think lack of napping got to Olivia, because she was MAJORLY acting out. With a time out and a good talkin' to, she finally calmed down and distracted herself on the iPod for a while. It was nice when the girls were off to bed, and I had the whole house to myself. Just me, and my words with friends addiction :)
Here are some pictures of our fun today!
