We've started a Labor Day tradition of sorts around here . . . this year ended up being almost a rerun of last year: City Park rides and Wilson's Orchard. We figure why change something that works and is FUN? :)
We did switch things up a bit by starting our day with a picnic lunch at the park.
Then we headed over to the rides to use up the rest of our punch card that we bought on Father's Day (pretty sad that we haven't made it back since then!) . . .
Of course the train is still B's favorite ride!
It ended up being
Elise was wide eyed at the Wilson's bakery :)
Please Daddy, can I have some?
Mmmmm - the slushies were especially refreshing on such a warm day!
No trip to Wilson's would be complete without a ride on "Bessie" the tractor/wagon.
And though apples didn't do well this year, we did find a few trees with some apples to pick (much to B's delight - he was not about to leave without actually picking some apples!).
The only apples we could find were a tart, green apple (no honeycrisps this year!), but I made an apple crisp with some of them for dessert tonight and it was yummy!
After a fun, hot day outdoors, we headed home for the a/c and naps. Baths were definitely in order too, and since Miss E had done well in the big tub by herself several nights ago, we let the kids try their first shared tubby! They loved it!
Such a big girl!
Big brother "helping" . . . check out his tan lines (and it's been almost 3 weeks since we've been to the pool, so it's faded quite a bit! ;)
B was making E laugh by blowing bubbles in the water
I'm sure this was the first of lots of sibling bathtime sessions! It's so fun to see the kids interacting and enjoying each other.
