Alexa and I had a girl's trip and traveled to Madison, WI to visit our best friends Emme and Kara. We had a fantastic weekend! It was so great to see them.
Emme and Alexa have really been missing each other. We arrived at their house after midnight, so Emme was already sleeping. The next morning, the girls were all smiles when they finally saw each other.
We took the girls to a very fun family farm called Sutter Ridge. They had apple orchards, pumpkin patches, hayrack rides, corn mazes, raspberry picking, and a very fun play area for kids.
The girls each got their own bag for apples and then we set off to find the ripe ones.
I taught Alexa how to check for bad bug spots before picking the apple. She did a great job of examining the apples first.
I had never seen apples like this before. Notice in the picture above how the apples are growing in clusters. I forget what the name of this apple was, but it was absolutely delicious! It was dark purple on the outside, bright white on the inside, and tasted very sour and tart.

Alexa was so kind to pick out a special pumpkin for each of her brothers. (Hers was the biggest, of course!)
