Ahhh, the joys of Christian education...we ALL had Thursday and Friday of this week off of school/work as the teachers were at an ACSI convention, and George W. said John boy could do the same so off we have headed for a weekend full of family fun. Thursday we headed up to Apple Hill, a collection of about 40 farms that neighbor each other along a beautiful scenic route. We enjoyed the scenery and the boys enjoyed a DVD......it was after all a three hour drive for goodness sake and we have been at this parenting thing long enough to realize that a DVD drive is a good drive! We're no dummys! We had a wonderful afternoon and scored the biggest apple pie this side of heaven....and for those of you coming for Thanksgiving you may as well stop eating now because we bought two-one for now and another that's in the freezer waiting for turkey time. At one of the farms we stopped at we went on a nature hike and the boys enjoyed throwing rotten apples at trees that quickly turned into their version of applesauce. MMmmmm, yummy....FYI we will not be serving rotten tree applesauce at Thanksgiving, in case you were wondering. Today was supposed to be Six Flags day but the rain foiled that one so JM took the boys to the movies and to the mall to check on the ESPN pool table at Sears they have been saving for.....$53 down.....$428 left to go...at this rate it may be a wedding gift. Hint, hint to any grandparents looking for a Christmas gift? Pool table, pool table, pool table....Donations can be sent to:
