Big Weekend

This past weekend we were super busy. On Friday we took the girls to their very first football game. We live very close to a high school and thought that the girls would get a kick out of going to a football game - especially since they have been watching some college football with us on TV recently. Unfortunately, I did not bring a camera (shocking that I would be so unprepared). The girls were quite cute at the game. They would frequently cheer but usually it was not for the team but for the cheerleaders ("Go Cheerleaders") We were there for the first half and the halftime show ("Go Dancers"). Overall they seemed to like it, and their bag of M&M's, quite a bit.

The next day, I started the day with a consignment sale - which I LOVE going to. And then the family loaded up to go apple picking after lunch. We went with our friends the Envalls who the girls love. As it turned out, there really were not many apples at all to pick. Apparently the hot summer and fall has made for a bad crop. However, there were some apples and lots of space to run around - so it was a success. We are hoping that the place is moderately organic, as the girls must have each eaten (parts) of 10 apples each. I made some cinnamon apples with dinner last night and they were quite delicious.

(To complete the weekend summary, that night I got to go out for a friends birthday sans girls and that was delightful! And the next day the girls had a birthday party to go to as well - pictures of that to come I am sure.)

Here are some of the pictures from the day.



Brooke and Spencer wondered why we were trying so hard to get apples from the top of a tree, when there were PLENTY right there on the ground.

This seems safe for 3 year olds, right?

At least the view was pretty, the company fun, and the picnic delicious! And the girls always love to hold babies!!
