Bikes and Apples

2017-10-01

This week I have pictures! Mommy and Daddy remembered to take some.

Lilei came over this week, and we went to campus to help pick up all of Mommy's stuff after she gave her talk - but we played in the office and Daddy carried the stuff.

Playing chess.

Spinning in the chairs.

Daddy and I rode our bikes a lot this week - we even went around the bigger part of the lake a few times. I also stopped at the playground a couple of times.

Climbing.

Balancing.

Saturday we went to the apple orchard in the morning. We rode the tractor train and picked our own apples. We also had some pizza and a caramel apple.

Tossing bean bags.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

We also went on a bike ride. We met another little boy, and we rode together around the bigger part of the lake. When we were done, he wanted to wrestle, so we did. I lost.

Then we went home for a bit, got cleaned up, and then we met Mommy at Carol's house for supper. I was the only kid there.

Let's get that bread!

Playing piano with Jean-Luc: the Pancake Guy (he has a crepe stand at the farmer's market).

Sunday morning we finished harvesting the tomatoes and ripped out the plants. Then Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne come to visit. In the afternoon we hauled all the garden stuff out to the compost farm and visited the goats and horses. After all that, we helped Mama get materials ready for the workshops she is doing this month.

Finally - the goat let me pet him!

And that was my week - take care!
