Boy did we have a fun filled day today...my parents came out for the day. Tate and Austin went to a birthday party for a few hours, and after I dropped them off at the party I took off for the apple tree (we discovered on our land) and started picking apples with my parents. My mom had this small ladder but I decided we needed to get the GOOD apples from the top of the tree so I grabbed on as hard as I could and swung my legs around the branches and started climbing the tree. Within an hour we had picked a lot of apples. My mom ended up making homemade applesauce for the boys and I ran over to a friends house to observe how she and her mother-in-law made apple bars, by far my most favorite fall treat!!
Rob was mowing and he also found a snake in the yard, so we have more pictures of the cute little snake the boys "caught"...it was our pet until Austin transferred it to a shallow bucket and it crawled out...so it is lingering somewhere in our garage...shhh don't tell Lisa!!
We ended the night with a ride to the land again to look at the stars, and then a few jumps on the trampoline....what a FUN day!! THANKS for coming out Grandma and Grandpa...we had a great time!!

I wish that I would have read your post before we came over tonight. I am glad that I didn't see the snake!!! The apples are yummy!!! I love the picture of the boys and the apples. Keep me posted on the snake.
love ya
Apple bars eh? Share recipes? :P
I want the apple bar recipe too! We have apple envy here since they are almost $2/pound for the usually cheap styles like granny smith and red delicious (misnamed if you ask me, should be red mush, not much taste!). Your apples look great!
