No, we didn't drive on the freeway and pass people just to slow down to 50mph, though that would be a very Washington thing to do. Nor did we don black socks with sandals (I really don't know many who do that, that's NW stereotype). And no, we didn't drive down to Portland to shop tax free.... planning on that in the future though. The boys and I went APPLE PICKING! In a real life APPLE ORCHARD. It was my MOPS group (Mother's of Preschoolers) Fall activities. One of the group members has an orchard and graciously lets us come and pick to our hearts content and then eat lunch on her lawn. I now have two bulging shopping bags of red delicious and golden delicious apples on my kitchen counter and some very cute photos of the event.

| This was the pose I got when I threatened that they'd have to get out of the box if they didn't look at me and smile for the camera! |

The boys and I had fun and you may notice that our Rachel is not present. I asked one of my good friends who now has one kid in school to babysit. So Rachel had a great time strolling around the local Farmer's Market and then playing at Janell's house with her little boy.
