Taking Poppop to the orchard

We flew Poppop out to visit us Wednesday night. He had some vay-kay to burn; we had a Daddy that was gone this weekend. A match made in heaven!

Thursday morning we took Poppop to our playgroup, and then to a picnic lunch at the park with Carlos and Anna. Lots of running and splashing in creeks. Lots of fussing; very little pooping. For dinner, Poppop treated us to pizza.

Friday was preschool for Isaac. We all dropped him off, then let Jake pick what the morning held in store for us. He wanted to hang out at the orchard.



Jacob's favorite part was feeding the koi. Dude could stand there and look at the fish popping up around the pond for a billion years. We had to urge him on when our adult attention spans were not as great. Somehow, though, Jacob got by, feeding felled apples to the goats and pigs. We also tried our hand at the new corn maze. We were most talented at getting totally lost, but we had a good time anyway.



That picture shows surly Jake insisting that he would not be saying 'cheese', not on your life. And then very shortly after, atop Poppop's shoulders, the cheese comes easily.
