Apple Picking

Zoe had her first field trip last month, so fun!  They went to an apple farm near us and I was lucky enough to be able to go.  They got to see some farm animals, honey bee hives, pick some apples, and drink apple cider.  Z had a good time but since it was the end of the season, there were not a lot of apples to pick from the trees and she got frustrated.  They had crates set up of already picked apples so she got hers from there :)

Outer Banks

I will tell anyone who asks, that I have great in-laws.  I have felt a part of the family from days one and they treat Zoe and I so well.  We are so lucky.  When we were up in Aug to visit them in PA, they surprised us by renting a house in Duck, Outer Banks NC for a week in Oct.  A 9 bedroom house and wanted everyone to get together in one place for the first time since our wedding.  Not everyone got to stay the entire time, including us, but on the busiest day there were 11 adults and 3 kids in the house on a rainy day.  We had a great time playing games, cooking meals together, playing on the beach and going shopping.  Zoe loved seeing her cousins.  Thanks Candy and Big Lar!

Trying to get in.  Hahaha.  Took a while but we got inIMG_0222
