On Saturday we had a great adventure, one Grace had been looking forward to all week. We got together with my college girlfriends for a fun day. While we were super disappointed Lindsay and Bethany and their kids didn't get to come, we had a lot of fun! Grace had been talking about picking apples constantly. We have never been to an orchard before. When we left early Saturday morning she was chatting about it with me and was very disappointed we were going to Abby's house first to eat. She declared that she wasn't hungry! But, I convinced her it would be very close to the orchard. She then decided she would just go out in the backyard and pick apples while we had lunch. (Nope, not that close!) She was trying to figure out who Abby was (she knows everyone by Sadie's mom, Hannah's mom, etc.) I was explaining that Abby didn't have children yet. She informed me she thought maybe she did and I just didn't know. (Nope no kiddos, but Grace loved the dog, so Abby is probably Lola's mom now!) I was so glad we go to go to Abby's house. It was super cute and she made us this delicious brunch. Faith LOVED the French Toast casserole. (maybe because in her sugar restricted world she thought it was like having dessert for breakfast) After brunch we headed to the Orchard.
I think Grace ate at least two whole apples while we were picking!
We had quite the crew with five kids and three strollers.
Faith also loved the orchard experience and proudly picked apples.
The closest thing I got to a group photo, Grace is still eating! Grace, Sadie, Hannah, & Faith
I was one exhausted pregnant Mama by the time we got in the car to go home. We didn't even do all the "extra" fun activities the orchard offered. But, the girls seemed okay with it considering the fell asleep before we even got out of the parking lot. Even though I was exhausted it was totally worth it to spend time with my girlfriends and see how much fun the girls had!
Grace & Sadie showing how big they are. I feel so blessed to have such awesome Christian girlfriends. It has definitely made me pray my girls will one day get to experience this type of friendship.
