haircut!

Isabelle got quite the haircut this weekend. Her hair was very long and had a tendancy to always get in the way. Seems like it was always in her face, dangling in dinner, or being chewed on. Hopefully her cute new style will be a little easier to manage.

Apple orchard, chopsticks and visiting old friends...

This weekend we visited the Apple Jack Apple Orchard with our friends the Ohmes. What a fun place. Even with massive crowds of people there is plenty to see and do. It spreads out over a huge area so it never feels quite as crowded as it is. The Girls had a blast at the petting zoo, horse rides, wagon ride and of course the huge inflatable pillow (jumper). We also shot an apple cannon but didnt get any pictures of that.



Isabelle and Olivia....



Isabelle had been on pony rides at carnivals before but nothing quite like this. The ride was on a little loop through the woods which is more fun than walking in a circle under a tent...Her horses name was Jewels, she thought that was pretty cool.





The highlight of the trip had to be the gigantic inflatable pillow. I have never seen anything like this and I am sure that Isabelle thinks we should get one in our backyard.





On Friday Isaebelle and I ate at Noodles. This absolutely my favorite father/daughter dining experience. SHe gets sgetti or mac-n-cheese and I can have spicy asian noodles with shrimp. What a great place! Isabelle was intrigued by my chop sticks and wanted to try them out...





After about 2 minutes she said, "this is hard Daddy"...she is pretty persistent and actually began threading individual noodles on the stick and then eating them off....



Isabelle's daycare provider was out of town on friday so we took the opportunity to meet her friends from her old daycare at the park. She had a blast playing with old friends, but really didnt understand why I refered to them as old friends...they aren ot old...???...eventually she decide that everyone was a little bit older...







Just a random shot of Isabelle making some sugar cookies...the cheater kind that you just throw on the baking sheet....
