Fryeburg Fair & Apple Picking!!

Danny and I had a great weekend with family and friends. We both took Friday off from work. Danny and I took Avery for the day and went and picked up Dan and Petros to head off to the Fryeburg Fair for the day. It didn't take Petros very long at all to catch on to all of the activities! We saw lots of animals and Petros and Avery went on the merry go round and rode ponies. Petros went on some more adventurous rides too and couldn't get enough. Daddy told him one more ride and then we'd have to leave. He tried to bargain with him and get two more rides. Petros won. He got to ride on the bears (which is actually a kid version of a tilt-a-whirl) before we left and had another ride on the merry go round.

Avery was such a good girl that day (she is every day!) and was happy hanging out and watching everybody walking around. She loved riding the pony and loved the doddies (which is doggies......every animal was a dog that day).

On Saturday, we met up with Deidre and Dave along with Nicole, Dan and Callahan and went apple picking. Dan and Tiff led us to this place in Cornish a few years ago and we love it there. They have lots of activities there for kids. They have an apple sling shot. You put the apple into the sling shot and try to aim it across the pond at a target with a hole in it. You'll see Petros doing this in some of the pictures below. They also have an apple crate maze that Petros and Tiffany went into. Melissa and Tiffany discovered a shed that held a bale of hay, scissors, string and lots of clothing where you can make your own scarecrow. I think Melissa and Tiffany were more excited than the kids to make the scarecrow. We ended up getting him a pumpkin head that Petros, Dan and Tiffany will make a face for and put on their front steps.

On Sunday, Melissa and I took Sofia for the day and went out to lunch and then went shopping. It helped to remind me of how young I was when I had my kids!! I was exhausted and didn't manage to get many of my errands done this weekend.

Life is......crazy.....insane......tiring.......exhausting & busy these days...........BUT..............I LOVE IT!!!!
