Apple Orchard and Hal's Birthday

Yesterday was a very busy day for us! Sophia slept in which was wonderful. Then we all got ready and headed to the Pine Tree Apple Orchard. She had a wonderful time touching the pumpkins.

She loved the big huge pumpkins. She wanted to run all over the place while exploring in the patch.

After exploring in the pumpkin patch, we headed into the apple orchard. Sophia had a great time picking up the apples and putting them back in the bin.

We finished up in the orchard and went back by the store. We got some apple bread, apple donuts, and caramel apples. We thought it was a bit funny, as we always go to the orchard, but we never just buy the apples. Oh well.

We left the orchard and headed over to Hal's parents house as his mom is home from Utah. Sophia had some quality time with her Grandma Jayne and Grandpa Hal. Then we went home and we all ate lunch. Sophia went down for a nap and I went for a huge run. Hal went to the house to get some work done. Around 5 we all got ready and Sophia had a quick dinner. Then it was off to Hal's 30th Birthday Party!

Hal had a special "30" cupcake birthday cake. All of our family and friends came and we had a great time.

Sophia got to spend some time with her cousin Abby too. Here's a picture of them checking each other out!

Just the girls!

Hal, Mark, and Nate

The party went into the wee hours of the night. We headed home and instantly went to bed. What a long day!

Today we got up and read the paper. Sophia found her favorite adds to read too.

We all had breakfast together and then Hal and I got ready to go and paint. We got quite a bit of painting done at the new house. While we were gone, Sophia got to visit with her Great Grandma Erma and her sister Lillian. She also colored some pictures with Papa. She enjoyed her day of playing with Nana and Papa. They also took her to get a new big girl car seat for their car. What a big day! She went potty twice today too which is always good news to hear.

Tonight, Sophia had dinner and then we went upstairs to play with the new tub toys in the big bath tub. She really enjoyed the watering cups and her new toy that makes music when you fill the cups up with water.

Hal and I stopped and got food from Angelina's Kitchen and can't wait to eat. Until tomorrow....
