We went to the lake today and brought with us Little Red Riding Hood or so she called herself.

We had the pleasure of looking after my cousin's youngest daughter this afternoon. The kids loved having a baby in the house and helping look after her.

The Lite Brites also came out this week. Here is Micah's mermaid she created all by herself.

The apple processing continues. I made 10 quarts of juice and there's still more apples left to pick.

My brother-in-law picked up a free Lego set for each of the kids at my nephew's birthday party. Here's Jael building hers just as the instructions say.

My hubby and father-in-law picked a bunch of our apples and they are sitting in my kitchen.

I made jam for the first time today, I really did not realize how easy it was to make.

I went strawberry picking without the kids this morning and they were so nice and huge!!

The apple tree is full of apples and waiting to be dealt with.

Came home after a weekend away to a cucumber growing. I haven't had much luck with growing cucumbers so it was nice to see this.

We spent the afternoon/evening with my cousin at their cabin and had lots of fun playing in the water.

211/365

We went fishing at a lake up north. The water was too rough be out on the boat, so the kids cast off the shore.

On the way to the farm, we stopped to get donuts. Isaac thoroughly enjoyed his!

I was shocked that this lily came up. Last Easter I bought an Easter planter with a lily in it. My mom suggested planting it in the garden just to see what would happen and it made it through the winter.
