Our anniversary celebration at the Melting Pot...courtesy of our dear care group

Wow...that was a long title. :)

On Friday night, we enjoyed a wonderful meal together at the Melting Pot to celebrate our ninth anniversary. We sat and ate and talked for hours! We had an absolute feast and were even treated to a toast by the restaurant. We had such a special and memorable time together.

Thank you to our dear friends for providing us with such a special memory!

Filasky's Farm

On Saturday we had absolutely beautiful weather so we decided to stop by Filasky's Farm which is just 10 minutes away. Almost everything is free, so it's a great place to come for the kids to run around. David enjoyed climbing in the blow up train, running through the soybean maze and riding the little tractors. David often says that he wants to be a farmer when he grows up, so he really loved the tractors. This could very well have been the last warm day of the season, so we're glad we were able to spend it outside.

Milburn Orchards

On Saturday we took a trip with Mimi to Milburn Orchards. It was a beautiful crisp Autumn day (a little on the chilly side, but beautiful!). We took David on a hayride and (we didn't know this until it happened!) all the wagons had hay fights as they passed each other. Needless to say, David, Mimi and I were all completely covered in hay by the end of the ride. Thank goodness we didn't bring Owen! :) David also rode on a "real horsie"! He also enjoyed petting the goats, although he was little nervous about feeding them. David found a big hill and enjoyed running up and down it with Daddy! There was so much to do...we could've stayed there all day! We had a wonderful time and David had fun running from activity to activity. And, the apple cider donuts are to die for!!!!! Mmmm...

Linvilla Orchards

Today, we made the trip up to PA to go to Linvilla Orchards with Mommom and Poppop. Dave, David and I went on a hayride while Mommom and Poppop played with Owen. Dave then took David on a train ride!!! Of course, David was thrilled. David then had such a fun time playing in the playland which is a park with all of these wooden trucks, airplanes, boats, castles, etc. to climb in and slide down. He had the time of his life. Owen was smiling and laughing and talking to Mommom and Poppop too while David was playing. We all had a great time and we loved seeing Mommom and Poppop too!

Day 7...Coming Back Home

What a great trip! We had such a wonderful time and we're sad to come home. Dave and I had some special times just the two of us and it was so nice to be with my love. We love our sweet boys, David and Owen, and the special and fun times we had with each one of them are precious to us. David was so sad to leave his friends today that he kept saying that he wanted them to come to his house. He didn't want to leave! :) We were thinking of the highlights of our trip and it was hard to come up with one because the entire week was a highlight! Long talks with Dave, playing in the sand with Davey, going for swims and in the hot tub with Dave, our family bike ride, going out to breakfast, watching Davey run down the dunes, late night hot tub dips with our friends, watching the boys play together and run around, watching Owen experience so many new things and enjoying his many smiles, walks to town, key lime pie and Settlers, watching the VP debate with everyone, swimming with the boys, building lakes with David, getting ice cream, Duck donuts and coffee!, the beach....and I could go on and on. Thanks, friends for a fabulous week!!!
