3rd Annual Cider Mill Trip

Today was our 3rd Annual Cider Mill Trip with the playgroup kids!

First, some nostalgia! Here they are at the first annual cider mill trip:

Can you tell who is who?! :)

Today

Round 2! ;)

Siblings!

Sisters

How tall am I?

Front yard work!

We finally got started on the front yard. Here are some pics of the process...(minus the fountain which should be arriving in 5 months!).

Before:

The Plan, though some adjustments have been made. After seeing the open space straight-on, we decided we loved it that way. Trees are now just going along the sides, not all around the circular driveway.

During:

Week 1

 

Week 2

White Pines lining the lot. 2 Maple trees added to the side. More to come later :)

Wrestling!

This started out with trying to get a cute picture of the girls together.... and soon progressed to them both wrestling in fits of giggles.

* disclaimer: neither got hurt at all, both were having a blast and laughing the entire time! ;) Allie can certainly hold her own against her big sister ;)

Last days of summer...

It seems like Labor Day brought the end of summer weather with it. Here are the girls enjoying what were probably the last few warm days of this summer.

Playing in the sandbox

Water table fun!

Oooooh the bubbles!!!!

Kylie's Halloween Costume arrived in the mail today... and she won't take it off! ;)

Our little monkey

Allie was having a blast running and jumping onto Kylie's bean-bag. She would flop down and laugh hysterically, then stand back up and do it all over again :)
