Addison takes gymnastics!

Addison has desperately been wanting to take dance class, but the classes around here are all held during the day when I'm working, or fill up too fast to grab a spot. I did manage to find a studio that we could get into but the dance "season" is a full academic year...and that's a no from us. That's too long for a five year old. SO we did some digging and found out that our local Parks & Rec department does 8-week dance classes for little kids. Unfortunately, we missed the cut off for that for the fall, but they had gymnastics so we signed her up. She was THRILLED. The class meets once a week for 45 minutes and it is just perfect. Here she is in all her sweet, excited glory. She's having a blast! :) 

Apple picking

The yearly tradition with Oma and Opa....APPLE PICKING! It seems like we chose the hottest day of the year (not really, but it kind of felt like it) to do the most fall activity. We loaded up and headed to our normal, Paulus Orchards, for apple and a hayride this past weekend. We picked the apples kind of quickly because the bees were so bad. The kids got a kick out of the heavy duty wagon. I got a kick out of how sweet they looked in the orchard. Love those little blondies! 

After we were done picking apples, we decided to forego the hayride to play in their gigantic play land. It is normally super expensive but it happened to be teacher day, so teachers and all their dependents got in free. WOO HOO. I don't have any pictures of that portion of the day because I was too busy searching for shade to not sweat to death. :) But the kids had a blast!
