Apple Hill






So we had a great week planned , we had lots of fun day trips and activities to fill up our week! On Monday we headed off to Apple Hill, we have never gone there before it was wonderful. We first stopped to walk around a small lake were the kids could fish; we didn't just watched. Then off to the fudge shop "yummy", we had fudge and carmel apples! Then we headed to the next stop while driving through the beautiful foothills we saw all the Christmas tree farms getting ready for the season. We had lunch at a great little place and bought some very juicey Granny Smith's. Thayne had 3 cores in the car when we returned home. We went to a great museums about the Larson's who have been farming apples for many generations. We took some great pictures of the kids in a perfect tree. The day was going just perfect. When do you get over 2 pictures to choose from for the Christmas card? We had about an hour left so we headed over to "Grandpa's Cellar" for the best apple pie and hot cider ...which we did have but that was after we were waiting for the tow truck to come get our car; oh yes a tow truck this was the first tow! We had another and two trips to Enterprise. We did get home about 8:00pm and now our Subruran will be running like new after a week at "Family Chevy" in Shingle Springs California. And the kids think its great because did you know?... rental cars and hotel rooms are #1 on funnest things to do on vacation. Oh and Thayne learned how to work ALL the levers on a Tow truck from Dick the tow Truck driver "very nice Guy"! He reminded him three times "Thayne remember when you grow up you DON"T want to be a tow truck diver!" I love these kind of days.
