We went apple picking today. Michael's parents went with us. We do this almost every year. We missed last year, but I think that's the only year we've missed since the kids were born. We always go up to Eckert's in Grafton, Illinois to pick apples.

It was a really nice day. It was warm enough for short sleeves and shorts, but not overly hot. We got to pick red delicious, golden delicious, jonathon and jonagold apples today. Michael, Michaela, Caleb and I picked about 15 lbs. Michael's parents came home with about 17 lbs. I also bought some apple butter, YUM!

We stopped at a place called The Loading Dock for lunch. It's a bar/restaurant that is in a big shed like building. Most of the tables are outside, but some are inside and inside is opened up with a bunch of big garage doors, so even the inside is open air. The food is good, but the service is a little slow.

This afternoon I worked on stuff for work and did some more laundry. Michael mowed up at our duplex, next door and our lawn. He's worn out.

Michaela hasn't been feeling great today. Her allergies are really bothering her and the only thing I had to give her was Benedryl so she's been a little on the sleepy side, too.

Caleb played outside with his football and has played with his cars a lot today. So after supper he took a shower. They will be going to bed here in a little wile. He and Daddy are now bowling on the Wii. It is so much fun to watch and listen to the two of them play Wii together. I love it when Caleb and Michael are doing things like that together.
