So we got up, had some breakfast, and began our day. Our first stop was an apple orchard. The rain finally stopped, so we figured it'd be best to get outside and do something. It was still pretty muddy, so it was a challenge keeping Fischer out of all the mud. Addison was in heaven because she loves apples - I'm pretty sure she ate her weight in apples.
After we picked and sampled lots of apples, we headed to the store part of the orchard to see if they were doing hay rides that day. And they were! So we got our tickets and waited for our ride to start. While we waited, the kids got to ride on a wagon and do a little hay maze.
The ride included a stop at a pumpkin patch, so we got out and looked at some of the pumpkins even though we knew we weren't going to get any.
Once that ended, it was time for lunch! We decided we needed to get a cheesesteak - what's a trip to PA without a delicious cheesesteak?! Sadly, Addison and Fischer decided they weren't in the mood for theirs and only ate french fries for lunch.. and a tootsie roll from the owner of the place we ate.
After lunch we headed back to Grandmommy K's house. We took the scenic route so the kids could nap for a little while. Just as we got home, Aunt Julie and cousins Griffin, Ashley and Cohen were getting there too. Good thing the kids napped a little bit because it was non-stop action with the cousins for the rest of the day!
We spent a little time at home, then headed to a playground/park nearby. We went there last summer too, and the kids could barely climb on the small equipment. This year, they were climbing all over the large equipment, with minimal help from us. So much changes in a year!! They all played hard while we were there! The older ones were so good about keeping up with Addison and Fischer, so that was a nice little break for us!
I wish you could see Addison's face better in this picture. She got so excited each time she went down this slide!
After that, we went back to take showers and baths before heading to dinner. We ended up eating at Friendly's, and we all got to enjoy some delicious ice cream for dessert! I love that place. By the time we were leaving, Uncle Brian was there too - or "Uncen Bwian" as Addison and Fischer call him.
We went back home for some more play time, and the kids all watched The Fox and the Hound together. I tried getting a good picture of the 5 of them, but it was hard to get Fischer to sit still with them.
Addison and Fischer got to bed later than normal, but they went right to sleep in their sleeping bags again and slept all night!
