More Family Time

Even though Greg has been on call this whole month (he can do this because he takes home call which I think is just a way around the 80 hour work week and I could go on about that), we have had time to do some fun things with the girls. We went to the apple orchard intending to pick apples but they only had red and golden delicious ones to pick. So we just bought my favorites, Honey Crisp, and Jonagold from their store. Then we headed through the corn maze. They had a small one for little kids and a larger more complicated one for us "smarter" folk.

This was in the bigger maze. Greg and I went with them while Jamie stayed out with Sydney. London didn't want to stop long enough to even take a picture. She insisted that she knew the way out. After a while she asked that someone else be the leader, so Brooklyn stepped up. That didn't get us anywhere either. It wasn't til the ole reliable mama took over that we finally made some progress. What would we do without ME? I won't go there.

They decided they wanted to pick the feed corn to see what it looked like. London was teasing Brooklyn that you could really eat it...Brooklyn didn't buy it.

After the maze there was a pumpkin patch that they walked through. Didn't know if they were supposed to or not but they did. Too bad they couldn't pick their own.

From the apple orchard we headed to ....

The inside was chucked full of jams and jellies, JIF peanut butter, pilsbury, crisco, hungry jack, products, ice cream toppings, tons of other cooking gadgets, a hall of history, and a little cafe. My mom could have stayed in this store for hours. We however, managed about 45 minutes.

We loved meeting the Pilsbury Dough Boy!

Or at least climbing on him.

Good Bye Smuckerville!

We have so many cool things around us and I would love to see them all. I am hoping to visit other amish towns, take a ride down the Erie Canal, and hit the covered bridges festival, ride the Polar Express, visit the Rock n Roll hall of fame, the NFL hall of fame, go to Browns game(only when they play someone cool), go to more Indian's games, and whatever other adventures I uncover. Too many things, so little time, oh and money.

You would think that this would be enough for one day, but it didn't stop there. We came home got some dinner and went back out to play some miniture golf. You know, Greg had to practice his putting game.

I strapped the baby on and had to get in on the action. I am pretty sure I beat them with one hand! London got the hang of it pretty quick. Brooklyn kept switching hands and sides and would wind up and smack the ball. She didn't get the concept of hitting it soft. I think she will do just fine in softball, and maybe on the golf range. Greg had his serious game face on and was telling the girls that he wouldn't take them again unless they obeyed the rules! He is a rule GooRoo!

By the end of the day, we were all tired and ready for bed. But we sure had a good time spending it with each other.
