Apple Picking

Before Grandma and Pop-pop left, we made it up to Carter's Mountain for a little apple picking.  Kevin and Abby were not able to come because of after school commitments, but we still managed to pick 25 pounds of apples :)

Grandma and Pop-pop came to visit from New York last weekend, and we decided to bring them to Greenfield Farm (they had never been to a corn maze!):

Pack Meeting

Benji has been happy with his cub scout experience this year and has largely been excited to go to the meetings.  His pack had a campfire last week:

We had a little excitement at the end of last week when Benji broke his water glass at dinner and then cut his palm on one of the shards. He was not a happy camper at MedExpress, where they glued his skin together:

Benji has shown a sudden interest, so we have been doing a lot of this lately:

Book Bag

Abby is in a tween reading group at the Central Library. This month, they read a book by a local author who then came to their meeting to discuss it with them.  The library sent along this picture of the girls with the author:
