Apples, apples and more apples

By Amity -
We have two beautiful apple trees in our yard, John picked three boxes last weekend, the rest of them had to get picked today.  John and I climbed the trees to get them all, I got stuck coming down out of one, everyone thought it was funny...but me!  We ended up with about 400 pounds of apples, yes that is alot of apples.  We gave some away and are making applesauce, apple butter and who knows what else with them!  We used about a bushel tonight to make applesauce.  We don't know what type of apples they are but they are pretty good.

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
