We had a fun weekend! We headed up to Oak Glen saturday morning for some fun time outdoors with my parents. We started the day at Law's for breakfast. Its a great little coffee shop that does a great buffet for pretty cheap. It was a little chilly, only 46 degrees at 8am! Glad we brought our jackets! After breakfast we walked around the village for a little bit before heading off to some of the apple farms. Our first stop was Los Rios. The kids had a good time watching the workers pressing apples and making fresh cider. Inside it was wall to wall apples. Anything you can think of, it was there.
Next stop was Riley's Apple Orchard. Isabelle got to pick her apples right off the tree. Caleb had a good time helping her pick out apples too. Both had fun running all over and enjoyed the outdoors. The only bad thing was they were doing a huge girl scout thing that day, so it was very crowded. We then left and went next door to Riley's Farm, where they have a huge pumpkin patch that covers this entire hill. You are able to go out there and pick your pumpkin and cut it off the vine yourself. The kids were tromping all over and had a great time. Poor Belle kept tripping on all the vines but she would just get right back up and keep on going. After the kids had picked out their pumpkins we headed back down the hill. The only problem with this was Belle was carrying her own little pumpkin herself. Well, needless to say, she stumbled a little and dropped it! Off it went, rolling down the hill. We all started laughing, till we turned and looked at Boo's face! She was traumatized! Its my biggest regret that I didn't get a shot of that sad face. We watched that pumpkin rolling down the hill and we hustled after it, hoping it would survive its fall. Luckily a group of young adults saw us and stopped the pumpkin and saved it for her! It survived without a scratch and let me tell you, Belle hugged that pumpkin tight after that.
Our last stop was Snowline for some apple cider donuts and to buy some cider before heading home, but holy cow! It was soooo crowded! The line for the donuts was at least an hour long. No way. So we went inside, bought some apple cherry and apple raspberry cider, and some cider donut mix and headed off. It was a great day. The kids had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa and loved getting to do somthing new for them.

That looks like it was fun. We hope to make our annual Oak Glen trip this year! The pie at Riley's farm is the best too.
You are all so fun! The kids are getting so big, and even cuter! We miss you!
