Today ended a lovely multi-day visit with Mommo and Daddo, in which we played a-plenty, picked a-plenty apples, did a few projects, and mostly just enjoyed each other's company (and ate a lot...whew, salad for a week for me). The kids really savored the time, and little Asher was in all kinds of tears this morning to say goodbye. Of course, they acted like hooligans much of the time, but their Mommo and Daddo were very tolerant (you'd think they'd done this six times before, or something!).
I didn't snap too many pictures because we were too busy living, but here's a few...
Daddo brought toy trucks and bulldozers...with multiple electronic sounds!!! Doesn't get more fun than that. Many a moment occupied with living room driving and construction. Getting the toys out of the box is a project unto itself...
If you give a mouse a cookie...
If you take a Daddo to an apple orchard where there are more than 16 apple varieties...you come home with a lot of apples, and each one labeled, for flavor comparisons! 'Spencer' apples were a newly-discovered and yummy variety, which pair excellently with Mommo's pie crust. Also came home with Jonagold, Suncrisp, Macoun, Early and Late Fuji, Shizuka, Cameo, Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, Empire, Cortland, Empire, Creston, Topaz, and more I just can't remember off the top of my head.
Asher discovered the horsie. The horsie took a beating when Asher threw himself on for rides, but held up phenomenally well!
Owen and I worked on a post-visit feast of butternut squash soup, homemade bread, salad and Jonagold apple cake this afternoon to occupy the sudden feeling of empty space around the house! Thanks for a really nice week.
