Isaac has been talking about going to Applecrest since early September. After many busy (or rainy) weekends, we made it--and just in time. Bluegrass music, hayrides, pumpkins, apples, cider doughnuts---and being together. We sat for a while watching music near a man who told me about how my heart would be broken when my sons grew up and attached themselves more to their wives' families than to mine. He told the boys to remember their mother was their best friend--that she'd take a bullet for them before their wives would. So . . . it's always good to be reminded that every day is important and these times will pass so I need to treasure them now . . . and then it's time to move forward, so we excused ourselves and took a storybook hayride. It was fun, really.
I forgot the card for my camera. :( So . . . used my iphone. Which means low quality bluish photos. These I edited with Totally Rad Actions' Sparta and they were greatly improved. Love the shot of Isaac eating with the band behind him because I remember how he was moving to the music as he sat there. He was feeling it. Josh was just feeling tired and lousy. I guess a Friday night real-time sleepover and a Saturday night virtual sleepover (chatting on x-box live with 3 of his favorite friends til after midnight) will do that.
I'm glad you got the photos anyway, you all look so relaxed and really just enjoying the mellowness of the day. At least it looks and sounds that way :-)
