Orchard of Fun

Today, my sister Jamie and I got to leave work at noon! It was conference day, so since we were at school last night until after 7 (pulling a 11 hour day) we got to leave early. YEAH! We picked the kids up from the sitters house and went to good old McDonalds for lunch. The kids ate their lunch and played on the new equiptment they had. Of course they had a blast. Then, off to the apple orchard we went. All 4 kids fell asleep in the car as we traveled there. What a surprise! Now of course it was naptime, but it was worth the try to have fun and pick apples.

They loved it! Ogdan was thought it was like putting a baby in a candy store and locking the door behind you. He saw all the apples on the ground and thought "heck yeah." It was hard to keep him from picking up all the millions of apples on the ground and telling him not to eat them. He kept giving me that "but Mommy" face. I eventually just had to give him an apple to eat just to keep him from throwing fits when I told him the apples were yucky and making him put it down.

We picked ourselves a peck of apples, got some apple cider (yummy) and then off we went to get some good old naps in. By the time we were finished it was way past naptime. We had 4 cranky kiddos on us. We were going to attempt the pumpkin patch, but there was no way at this point. The kids were done. Perhaps next time.
