The Big Apple Farm

Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy invited us to visit The Big Apple Farm in Wrentham, MA yesterday. This is a spot that Wendy visited every year as a kid, so she started bringing the girls there last year. Because of the recent storm there wasn't any apple picking, but we had a great time anyway!

Inside the farm store they sell lots of apples and apple-related products, along with other produce grown on the farm. They have a big barrel full of free apples, so S&Z had their first go at eating an entire apple. The Paula Red's were so juicy and delicious that we bought a bag to bring home.


The grounds of the farm are really beautiful, so we spent the rest of our time there exploring.


There was a giant pile of wood chips that the Geist's were much more adventurous to climb than we were.


S&Z were all about the TRACTORS!!!!! Zoe in particular is really into tractors these days, so this was pretty awesome.


On our way home we stopped in the woods to have a picnic. It was a lovely end to a great morning!


After lunch the kids played at a nearby playground.


Many thanks to Wendy for inviting us on this fun outing!!!! We sure did enjoy our Paula Red's with breakfast this morning :)

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe...

The Best of Project 366

2012 is coming to a close and I have officially completed Project 366 ! I managed to take and post and keep track of 365 photos out of 366 total days this year. I only missed one day and it was for a pretty good cause . Believe me, these pictures don't take themselves. I shot just under 7000 pictures this year. Once I got an iPhone in March all of the pictures were taken with my phone (~ 5500 pictures!). The camera on the iPhone is really good, I always have it with me, and I like playing around with the filters and other editing tools available in photography apps like Instagram, Camera+, Diptic, and Gridditor. Since I have put so much time, love and energy into Project 366 I thought I should select a few "Best Of's". I had a great time putting this together, and I hope you enjoy these highlights as well!
