Apple Picking

 Saturday we took the boys and Jack's friend Hunter up to the mountains to do some apple picking.
 It was the perfect Fall day - cool and sunny!
 There was so much to do there.  We started off at the children's play area.  Once they made it through the maze they had a big slide area to play on.
 Ethan and Wyatt really enjoyed playing in here.
 Wyatt wants to know, where did Ethan go?
 So much fun!
 Slides, sand, tires to crawl through, over and under.
 Follow the leader.
 Wyatt climbing up the ramp to slide down the slide.
 Independent Ethan going back to slide some more.
 Wyatt fell on the slide at the horse farm where Ethan gets his therapies and has been a bit gun shy of slides since then, so Daddy had to help.
 But once he went down and realized he wasn't going to fall he was happy.

 Jack and Hunter playing.
 Hi Mommy!
 Kerplunk!
 Daddy and Ethan (all snuffly).
 Look what passed by while the boys were on the go cart track.
 Jack way in the back getting some help from Daddy and Wyatt.
 There he goes - he finally got the hang of it.
 Check me out, Mommy!
 There goes Hunter.
 Ethan waiting at the bottom of the gigantic slide.
 Hunter was the first to slide.
 Then came Jack...
 All the way down.
 Another play area.
 Everything was Wyatt's size -- we had to drag him out.

Ethan did not like the cow, but Jack did.
 Wyatt didn't like it either.
 By the time we came back around to this slide there were no other kids there so Ethan and Wyatt took their turns and loved it!


 It was a steep hill, but they didn't mind climbing it.
 After all that we barely had time to pick apples.  We did spend quite a bit of time picking just the right apples.  Jack and Hunter each had a small bag to fill and then Jason and the little boys filled up a medium size bag.

 Isn't this view beautiful?
 The boys had a lot of fun picking the apples and running up and down the rows of trees.
 Ethan is doing it the lazy way -- from his stroller!
 Wyatt preferred the apples on the ground (so much easier to get) but he eventually got the hang of it.






 We had such a fun family day out.  Now I have two bags of apples to find recipes for - YUM!

 We have traveled around the SE for lacrosse tournaments in the past but this year we had the opportunity to travel to Denver, CO for one. I think it was one of my favorite. We tried to make it a family vacation as well, so we traveled in early the day before and spent some time exploring.  We headed down to Rock Park in Castle Rock and did a little hiking.  See that big rock in the background? Yup, the boys climbed all the way to the top. Ethan and I made it to the base of the rock while Jason, Jack and Wyatt climbed up top.  Ethan and I messing around waiting on the other boys.  Photos of the boys up top.  Our first game was an evening game, so we had most of the day to explore and get used to the altitude (which definitely got to the boys once they got on the field). The fun part of having good friends on the same lacrosse team is you get to explore together. We all drove up to Red Rocks to expl...

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

Big changes!

What a busy day we had! First of all, the trip to the movies was a big success!!! BOTH boys really enjoyed it. I wish I had photos to share. Ethan sat on my lap watching the movie until he fell asleep. He was fighting it though. He kept trying to turn his head to watch even though he was yawning and wanting to put his head on my shoulder. Jack sat for most of it and then got a bit restless. He still watched the whole movie, he just needed to move around a bit. Luckily it was a pretty empty theater. Today we had a bobcat in the backyard moving dirt around to flatten out an area for the playset and a shed. It looks so great out there and Jack loved watching the tractor scooping and moving the dirt.
