apple orchard





We had a blast when our playgroup went to Aldredge Apple Orchard here in Kansas City. My kids love apples anyway, but once they spotted trees with endless amounts of apples, they just couldn't get enough. They chased the chickens and ducks, fed the goats, took a hayrack ride, picked apples, pet the kittens, had a picnic and just enjoyed a beautiful day! Thanks to all my friends who helped me handle my three little ones on my own. We'll have to go back as a family with Chris so he can see first hand how much fun we had!

Mandi,

So through the blogosphere I found your blog on Lora's. I haven't seen you in about a million years. Congratulations on the cute little family!

Those pictures are so cute. I can see how much fun it was for them. I would love to take my kids to an orchard. I guess I should look into that.

Jason just started a blog! It is in my family spot on my page. As for Wende, she is still in Omaha.She graduated from Nebraska about 3 4 years ago. She is working and has a boy friend who is in medical school. Zac's dad is still in Omaha too, and his mom lives in Vegas. They got divorced like 3 months after we got married. Lets just say it wasn't and still isn't a pleasant experience.
