Ira Sleeps Over

Last weekend the Joersz family traveled in our direction to spend a few days with us.

We got really excited about company coming and we even cleaned the house ---- it lasted about a day. (sigh.)

Although we were sad Emma and Jon didn't arrive in time for Survivor and The Office viewing/bonding, we understood and were happy to see them Friday morning. We ate lunch and headed straight to our favorite orchard - Skytop. (I think I deserve some commission from those people. Or free apples. I'd take free apples.)

We picked apples, ate dougnuts...you know, the things you do on fall days at an orchard. Beckett and Piper enjoyed their backpack rides and Colton, London, Riley, Mosely and Bergen had fun picking and eating apples and playing on the playground. Bergen fell from the trapeze rings face first in the dirt after shouting to me, "Look at my flip Mommy!" This time it was only a bloody lip. Hmmmm.

After dinner we enjoyed a little campfire with s'mores - I don't think Cole likes chocolate. What in the world??

When kids crashed out (Beck and Piper shared a room - so cute) we watched the latest Indiana Jones flick. It was....exactly what you would expect.

Saturday we enjoyed the zoo, more apples as snacks and a tasty lunch at Copper Canyon Grill. Oh my --- spinach nachos were delicious. The kids all behaved well - and it's a good thing because we adults were terribly outnumbered!

Thanks Jon and Emma for spending two days with us...for enjoying our noisy wild house. Next time you come you may just get your own room, instead of having to sleep on the floor in the living room!!
