Slacking (and some cider mill cuteness)

We have been slacking with the blog.  I with I could come up with a good reason why, but it probably just boils down to laziness, a new iPad to play with, sewing, sewing, and more sewing.  Our camera was broken for a while, but it's all fixed now so I have no excuses going forward.  I'm going to play catch-up because this blog has become sort of a family photo album/diary and I would be very sad to leave anything out.

For instance, it would be a crime not to post these photos of the kids with two of their good buddies, Katie & Cara, at Yates Cider Mill.  They all had such a great time that afternoon (which was in late September -- yikes, I'm behind!).  Michiganders are rabid about their cider mills in the fall, and I'm starting to understand why.  Fun was had, cider and doughnuts were consumed, and we had a fun walk down the Clinton River Trail that runs by the mill.
