Apple Picking with Dad

We've been to Lynd's twice this month and love every apple we've picked! The last time we went, we took Todd along. I was surprised to learn he'd never been with us! I guess we go during the week when it's not so crazy there, an advantage of homeschooling ;)

 Love this one:

 Nick looks like this all through the apple orchard ;)

 We picked Jonathan this time and they are so crunchy and juicy!

 It was a great fall afternoon to spend outside and we enjoyed every minute :)

Best Dad Ever!

September was a bit of insanity! It went by in a whoosh and I have all kinds of fun things I need to get on here, and I'm going to start with this:

A week ago, the kids talked Todd into camping with them in the backyard! We spent the entire evening outside enjoying the fire. It was actually a pretty cold evening so a fire was perfect. I had my doubts about them staying in the tent all night since it was so cold but they all assured me they'd be fine with Dad in there with them ;)

It ended at 2am when Todd just couldn't get Nick to settle down and go to sleep ;) They all came in (much to Brandon's disappointment and my joy!) and spent the rest of the night in their own beds :)
