The day started with Midge's last soccer game of the year. It was a double header. She loves to play the position of goalie, and did a great job blocking three goal attempts in this game.
It was a pretty brisk morning. Each of her games has started around 9:00 because her coach doesn't like to miss a Duck's game. We will be looking forward to sleeping in again on Saturday mornings.
My brother and parents came down to see her game. Leo loved playing with Uncle Patch.
After the games we went back to the house. Ken took the two oldest to the pizza after season celebration party. Little Miss took a nap. We took advantage of the day to try and video conference with Shauna and her kids. Bella was gone and Logan was sleeping. Of course we insisted Shauna wake Logan up. He must have been a little grumpy to wake up to 5 people trying to talk to him.
After that we loaded everyone up again and headed to Detering Orchard in Harrisburg.
When we got there the kids loved the apple cider free samples. Leo came running up to Midge and yelled, "You've got to try this cider it is so good. It doesn't taste anything like mom's." OK so I experimented with adding grapefruit juice this year - not a good idea. We lost my mom for awhile and then we found her with this little sweetheart.
One look and Midge was hooked.
Our animal lover was content to sit in the sun holding this little girl, and let's be serious who wouldn't want to.
There was definately some begging going on to take her home.
Leo was amused for a few seconds and then he moved on to other things.
Midge did eventually put down the puppy. The free ice cream and apple pie helped.
Plus the free horse rides.
When we were done my parents returned to Corvallis and Uncle Patch came back with us. We stopped by 5th Street Public Market for the pumpking carving contest.
Leo choose the pumpkin he wants us to carve this year.
We had dinner and the kids loved that our table was right by the train.
Everyone was hungry.
Leo decided to go for easier inspiration.
And now it is time for me to end this post and go to bed - sweet dreams.
