Paradise Orchard





We visited the Paradise Apple Orchard this year for our friend Julie's birthday. Ethan and Sam got to pick apples and a pumpkin and, as usual held hands on the drive there. They also got to play with Gavin and Laik, Hope and Maisy. We got some fresh cider, which was wonderful. I was thankful to have it, especially after reading that 75% of the apple juice sold in the US is imported (mostly from China),though I can't remember the source of that info. I also got modivated to call the local Rosehill dairy and sign up for milk and egg delivery. That's two more items to knock off of my grocery store list in my attempts to buy locally first.

I'm gonna sing about....

Ethan loves to make up songs. The other evening we were reading BABY ANIMAL, which comes in the mail, and he saw a picture of a baby baboon riding on his mothers back. Ethan decided to sing a song about it.
Then he saw that his diaper wipe box was empty and decided to sing about the wipes being all gone.
