The end of being the unhip soccer mom, and neither of my kids even play the sport, is here!!! We traded in the minivan for this brand spankin new VW Jetta!!! What a great trade. I will miss the doors that open at the push of the button and the built in entertainment center, heck even the fact that the kids could sit on the potty in the way back without ever having to step foot outside. But I think the joy I have towards this new car more than out weighs the sorrow of loosing the minivan. Though I will not have the pleasure of driving this fine piece of machinery very often since there was a very practical reason behind getting a car. Dave will be taking this to work to save us on gas money and I will drive the explorer. However I have a very strict policy.....NO FIRE GEAR IN THE NEW CAR!!! Case in point this morning.....it was pouring down rain and they had a fire. He came home soaked, stinky and dirty. Dave, being the very wise man that he is, agrees with me that the car is no place for his dirty gear. Yes we are now a little more yuppifed with an SUV, sedan, son and daughter, dogs, fenced in yard, and me staying home. I guess the next few things to work on to be the complete stereotypical yuppie family is a lawn boy, a housekeeper, a freezer full of bon bons, and an umbrella in my drink.....Sunday, August 22, 2010

Apple Picking
We went apple picking with the MOMS club here. The kids had so much fun. They first learned about bees and how they rent and buy bees for their farm to make honey.
We then loaded onto a big wagon and rode through the orchard. They have apple, peach and plum trees along with blueberry and raspberry bushes. The kids had lots of fun riding on the wagon.
We each got to pick 5 apples from their trees. Yummy Gala apples that the kids could not wait to get home and eat.
Yeehaw. both kids enjoyed pretending on the horse out from. Tyler said he needed a cowboy hat.
Over all it was a great day. They kids did wonderful and I got to meet some more local moms. Tyler had so much fun that he actually asked to go back there. Which we will soon to get more apples. The kids got coupons for a free small bag of apples each. Hopefully the next time we go I can look around the shop some more and not have to leave so quickly. Oh well. You have to do things at the kids' pace not yours. :)
