I took Saturday off from work. I put in 50 hours the week before and since Saturday was Dave's birthday, it seemed a good time to take back time with the family. Since whooping cough is going around the twins school, Dave and I decided the whole family should head out to the Target clinic and get updated on whooping cough shots (mommy and daddy) as well as get our annual flu-shots. With Dave's birthday off to a sharp start, we headed out to lunch, then the orchard.
When all was said and done, we had picked two bushels of apples. I'm pretty sure that the $60 worth of apples is enough to make apple pies, caramel apples, baked apples, apples and peanut butter for snacks, apple sauce, and more. I love fall...if it wasn't followed by MN winters, I'd probably declare it my favorite season.
Dave took off for the evening. He headed out to watch a soccer game somewhere. I stayed home, cleaned up, and spiked a low-grade fever in reaction to my shots. It was a pretty low-key day, but that's how we roll...
