A Trip to Apple Hill

This weekend we took a trip up to Apple Hill. It's an area East of Sacramento, about 1000 feet up in the mountains. As the name indicates, it's an area with apple picking, apple cider, apple donuts, and apple everything else!

We came home with about 5 pounds of the best apples we've ever had!

Here's a couple of action shots of Tommy picking apples with Papa:

There were also some cool things to do that didn't involve apples, like......

.....paddle boating........

.....and riding the train........

We all had a great time! For anyone reading this in or around Sacramento, check out Apple Hill!

Tommy and Papa Go Camping

This weekend, Tommy and Papa took a camping trip up to Indian Valley, a very small spot along the Yuba River (about an hour and a half northeast of Sacramento). We set up the perfect campsite:

Tommy enjoyed throwing rocks in the river:

And just generally hanging out:

Here's a picture of Tommy just having fun:

It was a great weekend!

Pre-School

Tommy started pre-school today! Twice a week from 9am to noon the little man gets to play and paint and have yummy snacks. Here he is in the car this morning, and with the class heading back in after time at the park. He had a blast and so did mama and baby Carrie, who enjoyed a thrilling trip to the grocery store.

I find it fitting that he picked out the AU shirt Grandma printed for his first day of school. Look out world here he comes!
