Connor and I took a day trip out to Winchester and visited the Marker-Miller Orchards for their Apple Harvest Festival. Bob succumbed to some viral/fluish thing so he stayed home and rested. Its a great place with a fun playground, outdoor pavilion with live music, tractor rides, a cow train ride, huge orchards, and best of all: apple cider donuts and apple butter made by the local volunteer fire department. I didn't get too many pictures because I was a single mom, but it was a great day and Connor was decked out in his farm-cowboy best. We brought home two huge bags of apples, donuts, apple butter, elderberry jelly, and fresh Winchester valley clover honey. On the way home we stopped at Sonic for dinner--the first time for both of us. Connor had a great time climbing into the front seat to eat dinner with his mama. Oh! And we got some awesome dried corn stalks for the front door fall decorations. We're both tired tonite. It was hot out there and we ran around alot.
This week promises to be crazy. T-ball, football/cheerleading game, field trip to a pumpkin patch, and Nana and Aunt M arriving on Thursday. I'd better go to bed right now!
