What kind of apples did you pick?

To celebrate the start of fall, my favorite season, we made a trip to Crane's Apple Orchard.  When we were there we picked mostly Honey Crisp, a personal favorite, but we also picked some Cortland and Golden Delicious.  The place was packed so we basically drove in, picked apples, paid for them, and then drove out.  Our adventure took less than an hour.  While the trip was short, the delicious taste and smell of autumn's apples will linger for awhile.

Did you enjoy your party?

Last week Sunday was Elizabeth's 6th birthday (I'm only a week late posting this).  She had to have a dog themed party complete with stuffed dogs all over the house.  My mom wondered if having a dog party meant we were getting another dog.  To Elizabeth's dismay we did NOT get another dog.  However, she had a tail wagging good time celebrating and everyone enjoyed chowing down on her dog shaped cupcake cake!
