Now that was a fun weekend! We started out Friday by heading to a local apple orchard Ariel had seen on the evening news. Her immediate reaction had been "Can we do that?" so obviously it didn't take long to decide that picking apples there would be a great family activity. I've promised Ariel we'll make an apple pie sometime this week. Saturday we went to Legoland on some discounted tickets my sister was able to get for us.
