Cups was excited about her rewards, including her first free dress pass for the year, from her reading teacher for having done some reading comprehension exercises over the summer. The kids continued a previous conversation about the much anticipated candy as soon as Cups got in the car.
John towed the kids in the trailer on his bike one evening. I think Gofres will outgrow it in no time, too.
First time in a corn maze! And the corn is used in the corn cannons for entertainment.
A tractor pulls apple pickers in apple crates to the orchard at Bellewood Acres. This has become a family tradition when we visit for Ama's birthday.
Honeycrisp! And the kids loved the bubbling apple cidar made with these apples, too.
John and Cups picked. Gofres and I munched.
We got to fill up the bag and all the apples we could eat for one price.
Cups was invited over to play with Harper, and the rest of us invited ourselves.
Embracing another beautiful sunset. . .
I looked and looked before I found Cups' on a wall at school. I knew her favorite winter activity did not involve skiing, sledding and such. I was surprised by her answer nonetheless.
Answer inside.
John had to work from home the week I was gone, and on the day I left John had biked with Cups to school and home.
I saw Cups long enough for a hug and to take this picture at Westfest upon my return. I didn't see her again until it was time to go home. Gofres enjoyed himself much last year and was comfortable enough to roam around himself this time around.
The kids wrapped something that came in the mail as a surprise for me, haha.
Cups and I tried out the mud mask with Amazonian clay and doTERRA essential oils. I've never had a facial, and I loved how soft my face felt afterwards.
Cups met new friends at Target. (Hugs are free.)
