The girls were, of course, up early. I had Olivia sleep in our room today, hoping they would sleep in a little bit. They weren't going to get a nap today, so I was trying to prepare for that. They made it past 7:00AM today, so I guess that's better than their usual.
We had a nice big breakfast, I cleaned up the kitchen and we spent the morning hanging out together. Then, it was finally time to get ready and head out on our annual trip to the apple orchard. We usually wouldn't go quite this early, but with the strange winter and spring we had, the crops are all ahead of schedule. I've been watching the crop "forecasts" - the ONLY apple worth going to the Orchard for is the Honeycrisp, so I've been watching to make sure we go at the right time. This weekend it is!
And, we typically go to Aamodt's in Stillwater. But, my BFF asked if we could stay a little closer to home and try out an orchard in Lakeville...so, new adventures!
It was the PERFECT day for our trip. It was cool, breezy, but the sun was shining, keeping up warm. Couldn't ask for better apple picking weather! We filled out basket, took a ride on the hay tractor, played in the hay and the hedge maze. The kids rode some little john deere tractors and we caught up with Kari and Jay for a while. Such a great day! We left with a HUGE bag of apples, and some cookies from the bakery. YUM!
When we arrived home, we had some lunch/dinner, then Christian hit the yard to cut the grass. The girls and I hung out downstairs - them ripping apart their toy room, me doing laundry. Finally it was time for baths and bed. They were a little rambunctious tonight, but pretty good for no naps. I finished laundry and caught up on the blog, while Christian went out to grab a bite to eat and a beer with his friend Lorenzo. Since he got the yard done, and I got laundry done, we should have a nice relaxing Sunday ahead of us. Fingers crossed!
Here are this years Apple Orchard pics. YAY!
