Labor Day stayed true its name for the 3rd year students studying for their Pharm test. So Rach and I decided to drive to Brown's Berry Patch for the morning. We had no problem filling the hour drive, there and back, with our chatter. It's a large farm thats been around for over 200 years and sits near Ontario Lake. It was a perfect {fall} morning *contented sigh* and the boys had a great time riding along in the wagons meant for produce. As you can see, Gavin had a tipping problem, fixed handily with clunky bags.
We started with the raspberries and Collin caught on real quick.
Next we moved on to the blackberries, but being accustomed to {red}, Collin enjoyed many a bitter, red, blackberry.
Finally, we hit up the apples, but didn't go too crazy. Just a couple for snacking.
I have big plans for blackberry cobbler, Chocolate Raspberry Torte, and jam, but we'll see if it materializes. Even if it doesn't, we still had a berry good time. ;)
On Tuesday, Collin was nearly driving me bonkers when we got an invite to go watch the planes land and take off at the airport. I can't believe I didn't know about this place! It's on the east side and right next to a runway. They have benches and lots of grass to run around on and even a couple of play helicopters.
Crescent's little girl, Maia (4 years old I think), became our photographer. And not a bad one at that! It was nice not having to use the self timer.
The planes were exciting for a little while, until this tractor showed them up.
So, I've been quite jealous of all the kids going back to school. The YW complain, but I think it's exciting. New clothes, notebooks, schedules... what's not to love?! I want to go back to school. But alas, it's not to be. So instead I was welcomed {back to bunco} for a new year by Rach! I was pacified for at least a night. :)
She even went through the trouble to find {school milk}. And how adorable are those apple cake pops?! And for prizes, she went "back to school shopping" for us. To die for. So while I may not be going back to school, I still got a new accessory, did some math (haha), and made some new friends!
