How about them Apples?

Over the labor day weekend, Patrick had one request: just chill. I run the poor boy ragged and some days he just needs to curl up in a fetal position and rock himself. So we did nothing all day Saturday and Sunday, but my introvert husband recuperated and was ready again to face the world. So we enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL day and went apple picking with my family. He said it was relaxing and fun.

We picnic'd in the apple orchard.

After we got our bags full of Cortland, Mcintosh and Gala apples, we headed to a kid-friendly winery one mile down the road. It was gorgeous country....

Seyla and Jeff with their wine and cigars!

Kids played soccer in the open field.

And played with other things they shouldn't have.


Patrick not only had fun, but he immediately
got the fruit of his labor!


My mother-in-law's recipe: Apple Crisp.
Micah must have said three times in the same
sentence, "Um, mom, this is soooo good."
