Apple Orchard

This was the first time we had been to the apple orchard! It was a great time, although we should have gone in September. I say that because the apples are all ready to be picked in September, so we didn’t get to pick any apples. The kids didn’t seem to mind, since they had other fun things to do.

Here are the snacks we got from the Country Store at the Orchard.

That is an apple cider slushy in the white cup, apple cider in the apple, and an apple doughnut.

We had beautiful weather for going to the apple orchard, and we had a great family time!

Fun Day Friday

On Thursday we headed to the zoo since it was FREE day. We packed our lunch, stroller, and sunscreen. It was supposed to be a cooler day with rain, instead we had 88 degree temps with a real feel of 100 degrees. It was also really humid and the cicadas were in full force.

I didn’t realize it was so hot out. I mean it was comfortable at our house since it was cloudy, but as we drove to the zoo the skies became more clear and the sun came out!

We still had a great time despite the hot weather. We had a great time looking at the animals, chasing Travis as he slid out of the stroller multiple times so he could get a closer look and then take off on his own leisurely walks, meeting up with friends, and then having the outdoor lunch in the shade!

I think this was Travis’ favorite!

 

 

 

                                                                                           

                                                       

   

Yes, exactly what I thought too!! Someone said that the duck was giving the other duck a back massage! As naïve as I am, I thought I had better take a picture. I had never seen anything like that before. Then come to find out, the person was just trying to keep the kids from asking questions.

Wednesday Night at the Library

On Wednesday night we went to the Decatur Public Library to meet Sid the Science Kid from PBS. The kids really enjoyed this event and we did a few science experiments. This was a great science activity to our homeschooling day! The kids also made a science notebook, which they drew the results of their science experiments! We closed the evening with a few photos with Sid the Science Kid!
