Anniversary Weekend


Happy 6th Anniversary to US!

To celebrate we took a trip up to an Apple Festival in North Georgia and stayed the night at a lodge in a state park. The weather was perfect, the company was perfect, the scenery perfect, the food - not so perfect... Ben ended up quite ill, we think from the sausage or I should say, the snausages b/c who knows what "meat" they really were. And, Kai is very much in a screaming at the top of his lungs when nothing is wrong stage, which makes it rather difficult to sit down to enjoy a meal anywhere other than our home or the outdoors. We got many looks, a few smiles and just tried to eat as quickly as we could while trying also to relax for a few minutes and take in the views. But, since I am eating as much as a horse lately, meals take a little while :)

I picked up a peck (really, a peck, it said so on the bag) of apples and a ton of tomatoes, so I am cooking up a storm today, looking forward to Grandma's Apple Pie :) Did you know that Whole Foods sells a non-hydrogenated shortening?? (btw - I just had to get up out of my seat to look in the cupboard b/c I couldn't remember the word "shortening"! What is happening to my brain??)

Happy anniversary! I loved staying at state parks (in Indiana) as a kid. That is something I need to do again. By the way, I've tagged you if you'd like to play!
