Apple Hill

Last Saturday we went to Apple Hill with Rich's parents and his brother Dave's family. We stopped at a couple places. At Boa Vista Orchards we bought some apples, pears, apple cider, and apple pie.

We then headed over to Ridge Ranch where we ate lunch. Jessica and I waited in line for some BBQ pork sandwiches that were almost worth the wait and money. Everybody else ate sandwiches from home. After eating, the kids, dads, and grandparents ran around the pond. Bruce had a good laugh at the city folk "fishing" in the pond. Ava liked the ponies for the pony ride, but we decided the line was too long. We didn't want to wait in line to end up with another train incident (screaming and refusing to ride).

After lunch most of the kids (and parents too) were tired and done. We headed back to our house for some more fun. Ava slept for a long time. The rest of us had nachos, played Wii, and made necklaces. We also enjoyed 2 kinds of apple pie and some cider.

It was a great day. We love being with family and can't wait for the next Bowling family adventure.
