Apples and Abelskievers Weekend

September 10-14, 2009

The 2nd annual Apples and Abelskeivers weekend with Teona, Alex, & BethBeth. BethBeth and Teona came out for a semi-girls weekend (Brad was there too for some of it) to help me paint and get the babies' room ready. I'm so glad we only painted for one day and then got to do some fun things the rest of the weekend.

Alex and Aidan are instant friends. They are so much the same in personality (easy going) and love to do similar things (dress up). They immediately started to play dress up. Alex taught Aidan to stand on her head while they were playing "Lost Princesses" a game they made up and played all weekend. We never had to check on them, they were always busy in the toy room playing sweetly and quietly, it was a great weekend for all of us!!! Saturday morning we walked to Rockwood Bakery for breakfast, then took the girls to Manito Park to play a little. Then we stopped at my neighbor's Artist open house to buy some of her yummy candles. Lunch was downtown at PF Chang's- yum!Then we headed to the nail salon for Pedicures. Even the girls got the royal treatment in little princess chairs and dvds.Sunday we had breakfast at Old European. If you've visited us you'll be hungry just thinking about it! If you haven't visited us yet it would be worth you're trip!!! This is the "Abelskeiver" part of our weekend. Then we headed to Green Bluff to the orchards to pick apples- the "Apple" part of our weekend.

Chasin' chickens.
Feeding goats.

Getting peas in our pants!

Teona and Alex enjoying the Pea Pit. It has the most interesting texture.


Walter's Fruit Ranch.

Aidan has a thing for pumpkins.

Pony rides.

This is the cheese jumping rooster. He will jump up to grab the cheese, it's super funny to see!
In the orchard picking apples for Teona's pie :)

I'm so happy that the girls came out to see us. Fall in Washington is my favorite time of year and it's always so fun to share it with guests. I really appreciate BethBeth coming out on this particular weekend, she was with me here in Spokane on September 11, 2001.
