More Apple Dapple!

Today we ventured to Reed Valley Orchard in Paris, KY.  It has easily become our favorite apple orchard.  We got there just before closing time, so we didn't have a lot of time.  We were able to grab a couple bags of fugi apples though.  Mmmmm, delicious!  Matt has already made a delicious apple crisp!!

 

Mr. Roboto!

Today Ethan brought home a letter congratulating him on being accepted to the RSMS (Royal Springs Middle School) VEX Robotics Team.  He is very excited.  He had to apply for this and actually turned the application in a day past the deadline.  He thought for sure his dreams of being on this team were ruined!  I am so happy that he was able to make the team.  Watch for the adventures that I am sure we will have because of this!

Honoring Parents FHE/Sharing Time Idea

Jessica at Latter Day Chatter has a "Honoring Parents" Sharing Time idea posted.  It would also make a great FHE lesson.  Take a peek . . .

Picture Perfect Kentucky

This is a common scene in Kentucky.  A tobacco barn with a barn quilt on the exterior.  Can you see the tobacco hanging inside? 

Apple Pickin' Fun

Today we ran over to some friends house to pick some apples.  The kids had a fun time climbing the apple tree.  I didn't enjoy holding the ladder.  It is a miracle we left with no broken bones.

  Now to make the pies . . .

We are hard to beat when in 4th grade

Today during an assembly they announced the winner of the Kentucky Kids Day T-Shirt design contest.  This is the contest 2 years ago that Ethan won.  He was in 4th grade.  This year Ashton is in 4th grade . . .
