Like Christmas?

The girls (all of them) were up by 5:30 this morning happily chatting and playing in their respective rooms. I am thankful for that because I was still laying in bed trying to calm myself from an intense dream :/ I don't like
Being stressed while sleeping esp. When pregnant.

But why would today be like Christmas? Well, I think the girls are excited about today's outing- Apple Picking!!! Why else would they wake up so early? :) before bedtime we talk about our day and then talk about the plans for the next day (if we have something planned)- so we talked about apple picking and the girls knew who was coming with us immediately! Grand mom and ban-pa, of course :)

Earlier this month I asked the girls if they wanted to go apple picking and they responded with an enthusiastic "with Grandmom and Ban-pa!?" there was no "yes, I would like to go." or "sounds fun" it was an instant implied "YES!" with the request for their favorite people.

So, off we go today to a new orchard for us, Strickland orchard, right around the corner from the strawberry patch we went to earlier this summer. It is supposed to be a high of 75ish in the mountains, a perfect apple picking morning if you ask me! I'll post some pictures upon the return from our adventure. For now I'm going to pack some snacks and a few wet cloths to wipe the apples clean in case a little one wants to have a taste test.
