Dear Sis,

Today we enjoyed apple picking with Mama Jenn and family. Originally, we were hoping to go with the Chipmunk co-op but the mamas in the group declared they a break. We are grieving that disappointment a bit, but realize our perfect fit is still out there waiting for us to find it:)

Jenn snapped this picture shortly after we arrived.

We quickly picked a bushel of apples, a half bushel for each family! We learned the hard way that it is good to wait until you get home to eat the apples. Four of six kids were eating apples on site and every single one of them ended up getting stung in the hand, face, or mouth. The yellow jackets were innumerable, non-aggressive, but fruit crazed!

On the way home, we stopped at the Trenton Museum. It is open on the first Saturday of every month from 1-3 PM. Despite being members of the Trenton Historical Society, it took us nearly three years to meet the window successfully… lol. 

We finished our very full day by attending Trenton Community Day. We quickly did all the kids activities, then waited in the faceprinting line for a half hour.

The kids declared they were hungry and each got a slice of pizza at one of the food trucks. Then they just wanted to enjoy the live music. I have no idea what the band was called. They sounded great and played a combination of William’s two favorite genres… rock and country. We stayed until the live music ended and then went home for a well earned bedtime:)

Great Family Day!

Love,
