Apple Orchard Fun!

We went to Minnetonka Orchards yesterday, an annual trip we make as a family. As always, it didn't disappoint. We brought Georgie with so he didn't have to sit at a tennis tournament all day and Izzy had a blast with him. I'll let the pictures tell the story....

Climbing the giant haystack together!

Mr. Bobby was happy the whole time, just cooing and checking things out.


Train ride!

Izzy was so serious the whole ride!

Petting the animals.

Trying to feed the pony hay.

Tractor time...

He looks like a natural farmer in his track suit. :)


Can't believe how old she looks!

The peanuts of the family...

We had to start Bobby off on his annual pictures too.

Having fun!

Lunchtime on the hill.

Deep in thought.

I love the look on her face, Pat gives the same look too!

She came flying out of the slide.

Digging in the sand until a beastly toddler started taking toys and whacking them in the head with a shovel while his mom sat and socialized with friends oblivious to it all.

Running in the wiggle worm tunnel

Weeeee!

Getting ready to corn maze it up!

Looking ahead for dead ends, every time George would say "Nope, don't go this way!" Izzy would respond with, "What's wrong?"

Got to stay hydrated in the maze...

Bobby enjoyed the ride

We ran into our old neighbors that moved!

She remembered posing last year by sitting on the pumpkins and insisted on sitting on almost every pumpkin, but wouldn't look at the camera!

"Here come the Men in Black!" Love it!

This is the best we got.

Yeah, so fun to see them again!

She said her hand hurt because she tried to pick up a pumpkin, so she wouldn't take it out of her shirt.

The rest of these two goofballs by the pumpkins haven't finished uploading, but here is one.

Cousin George was so good with Izzy!

So happy!


Kitty Cat and Mustache man

Blah, I look gross, but the kids look cute and had a blast on the hayride.

Super bummed for the hayride.

She had this crazy giggle as we were on the hayride, she was having so much fun!


Bubba loved the ride too!
We take a picture every year by the sign! I can't believe what a difference a year can make. Last year we couldn't get her to sit still, this year, she knew just what to do. She went right up, stood by it, and smiled. She has grown, but hasn't gain much weight, she is wearing 12 month jeggings in this picture. :) However, her sweater is a 3T, so her torso is growing, just not gaining weight.

Weekend Fun

We had a nice weekend. Friday was low key. I took the kids on a walk, we ordered pizza, and watched a movie. Saturday, Pat and Izzy went to swimming while Bobby and I got groceries. Pat smoked some ribs that we brought to Nana after naps. Nana was watching Olivia and so we went to hang out. It turned into an impromptu cousin time (only missing the boys!) I needed to meet up with Jenny to get her money for some shirts so he stopped  by. Izzy slept well after being a crazy girl running around with Katelyn and George. Sunday we just relaxed and I met my former coworker for dinner. Weekends always go too fast!

Part of Bobby's costume

He loves it!

Impromptu get together...Izzy was in heaven with Kiki

I think she is ready to babysit

6 weeks apart...trouble!

Olivia is wondering what the heck is going on above her.

Some of the cousins...I wonder if we can get the boys to pose for a photo like this too? 

I think Bobby might have Izzy's problem of not sitting still. 😃

Growing up too fast already

Taking it all in

Dressing herself..pajamas, sweatshirt, and ladybug rainboots, essential  for doing artwork 

On their "puters"
