One great weekend! Part 1

Our best friends from Pittsburgh came down to visit our old (new) Kentucky home. We had a blast! The kids all got along great and we had plenty of space to spread out with everyone having a comfy place to sleep and eat (priorities in life, ya know).

On Saturday we hit up Evan's Apple Orchard for their Sweet Corn Festival. For the first time, Earl and I actually bought sweet corn at the Sweet Corn Festival. Every other year (and I think we've made it the past 4 years or so) we get sidetracked by the scrumptious array of other baked and/or fried goodies, including but not limited to, apple dumplings, fried apple pies, fudge....well, you get my drift. =)

My goal was to capture a picture of all four children sitting, looking, and smiling. It's nice to have lofty aspirations. I did manage to snap this picture. Not too shabby of our ever growing good lookin' brood of offspring. The tiny tots stayed strapped into their rides because, well, Libby simply would not be in the picture if she wasn't restrained in some manner.

After munching on our over-priced ears of sweet corn, we wandered the orchard, stopping to smell the roses (wildflowers)...


...posing for some more pictures...


...even some goofy ones!

We marveled over the industrious little honey bees and I was even able to spot the queen!

While Libby harrassed, er...enjoyed, the critters at the petting zoo.

A storm rolled in right at closing time, so we packed up and went home. Can't wait to go back for some apple picking!
