Fun family weekend this last one. So beautiful and sunny.
Saturday met up with 2 other mom friends and families and went to a park to play.
Afterwards tried a new sandwich shop 'Wiches, which was pretty tasty. And headed to Liz's house so the little kids could nap. Getting August to sleep at a different house was a total fail this time. Both Doug and I took turns sitting in there, her pack and play had a side that you couldn't see through, so we sat behind it, but he just wouldn't go to sleep. I don't know, still takes long naps at home and will at Grandma's too. So anyway, he played with the other kids until Liz's baby got up and we all went to the apple orchard to pick apples.
He probably ate 3-4 apples. And had to be carried otherwise he was falling over in the ruts and then he'd be picking up bee covered dirty half-eaten apples. So Dad got a workout carrying him, and mom got a workout carrying a bushel of apples!
The only bummer was it was close to closing time, and this place is my favorite for their delicious donuts. But by the time we got there they were "out" except for the "misshapen" ones, so they gave them to us for free but they were cold and normally their donuts are the BEST. So a bit of a letdown.
Afterwards we went to see Liz's new property they plan to build on next year.
What a view!!
August was quite fussy by the end of the night, proving he needs that nap! So we took him home for a quick bath and immediately to bed.
The next day we had church, and they had this nice fall photo backdrop set up.
Doug has been working on digging up our driveway to get more gravel, and has been out there even at night with a shovel and pick-ax for days. So yesterday a nice surprise, our neighbor stopped by saying "my wife said to get over here and help you." Thank you!!
And in the evening we had a couple friend over for dinner. I made pesto chicken stuffed shells, salad with avocado, goat cheese, homemade croutons, and chimmichurri dressing, and pumpkin skillet with icecream for dessert. Very tasty, and then we sat outside by the fire talking late into the night. Very fun! I appreciate friends who are flexible since we have a kid, August ate with us, then they gave us a couple minutes to put him to bed and we enjoyed the rest of the evening kid-free. Wonderful :)
