Riley's Farm



Well, we've been up to the same ol' stuff. School, practices, games, school, practices, games...you know that's all our life consists of at the time. We try to squeeze in some fun like having school friends over, going to Disneyland, going to Angel games and this Saturday we went to Riley's Farm in Oak Glen. That was a lot of fun. We went with my sister, Matt and the kids. The kids all had a great time! I have been hearing about this place a lot recently and decided to try it out. It's located in Yucaipa and you can pick apples, pears, raspberries, and pumpkins. We decided to stick with the apples this time. There are tons of apple trees with different types of apples and you pay for a bag and fill it up. There are also tours you can go on and other different things you can do, but we just walked around and picked apples. We went on a long hike through the hills looking for the green apples that Bryan wanted, but didn't have much luck in finding them. By that time it was starting to drizzle, Jack was shivering and everyone was starving. We will have to do it again next year, my kids liked it a lot! Other than that there has been nothing really exciting going on.

Blake is doing really well at soccer and baseball. He usually always scores at least one goal a game at soccer and I'm pretty sure they will be going to city cup finals. They haven't lost a game yet. In baseball he likes to play catcher and pitcher and does great at both. Today he played catcher and struck two kids out who were running home. The play looked just like the professionals. He's really enjoying his sports and they are lots of fun to watch. So, here are a few pictures of the last week or so.

Cute pictures. I used to be so good at coming to lots of Blakes games and this year I've been slacking. We'll try to make it to one soon. I hear he looks like a little pro out there.
Apple farm was so much fun. Let's do it again next year for sure. The kids loved it... actually I think we all did!
