ONE YEAR OF BLOGS

The very first blog post on here was when we went to Wagner Farm and that's where we went again today. It has been a year since the first post and as a tribute, I made a video looking back at all the fun we have had in the past year since our first post was written. ENJOY!

Apple Picking 2011


We went apple picking this year!! Last year we waited too long to go and all the apple were already picked before we could get there. We had planned on going to Kuiper's but they only have apple picking on the weekends. So, instead we went to a place called Pine Apple Farms. Clever name...they sell apples during the fall and Christmas Trees in the Winter. It is not a  huge farm by any means, maybe an acre of apple and another 3 of trees. It s run by an older couple who were absolutely in love with the girls. Especially their oh so appropriate outfits...thank you very much. This will definitely be our traditional apple picking farm from here on out. The girls loved it here. A ton of trees had lower branches they could reach with no assistance and they picked every apple we got. Yes, some of them were spotty and looked like a family of worms had moved in them, but THEY picked them.



ALL OUR APPLES

Just wanted to snap a few shots of the girls having spaghetti for lunch this week. As you can imagine, it's not exactly a clean lunch. 

We visited a different Children's Museum then usual. The Dupage Children's Museum has some great exhibits! The giant "Lite Brites" were our favorite. There is also a giant wind tunnel you can walk inside of and the girls and Luca thought it was hilarious. The wind exhibit had so many hands on things that the girls needed no assistance with at all. Everything is on their level, which isn't always the case when you go to a children's museum. A lot of things end up being a bit too tall for them. I would highly recommend this place. It's not right around the corner but it's worth the drive.

Museum of Science and Industry

We took advantage of free admission day and went to the museum. The girls loved it there and were surprisingly interested in EVERYTHING! Being just shy of 2 I didn't know what to expect but they stopped to look at anything and everything. We would talk about what color the object was, or identify it. The toy factory exhibit was closed, so we will have to go back when it's open.
