This past weekend Mike and I got away for the weekend. We headed up to Front Royal with two other couples for the weekend. I was so excited because this was the first weekend in three weeks that did not include hospitals! We left around 5 pm on Friday. The trip was not too long, and we did not hit much traffic. We got to the cabin house a little after 7pm. We almost made it there without incident. About 15 minutes before we reached our destination Mike ran over a huge opossum. I felt so bad, I've never run over a animal. It just froze there in the middle of the road. If he continued at the pace he was crossing the road the poor animal would of made it!
Fun times picking apples!
It was a wet weekend. We played Settlers of Catan all night after dinner. It rained all night too. From the looks of things it seemed it would ruin our trip to the apple orchard. The next morning, it was drizzling. I made breakfast for everyone! Waffles, homemade whipped cream, bacon...this is how i found out bacon was not the best thing for me to eat. Oh well, after a couple of pills, I was fine and dandy. Around 11am the weather lightened up, the sun came out!
We took advantage of this and headed out to the orchard. We had tons of fun. It was not as muddy as I thought it would be. After pickin some apples, our friend Don took out the baseball bat and we proceeded to play Apple ball! It was tons of fun. Mike really enjoyed himself!
He was so happy when we arrived.
Mike playing apple ball! Look how
excited he is.
I tried it a little, but not the best idea. We headed to the apple store and bought some fun stuff. We then headed to the Apple house where we bought some delicious apple donuts! They were freaking delicious, I only wish I could of eaten a whole donut. I am grateful that I had some. The rest of the time, we enjoyed playing games and relaxing. It was fun and So good to get away!!!
My friend Megan.

I love the expression on your face when you're trying to hit the apple. How fun! Hey, do you edit your pics? They're awesome! I need to learn how to do that.
I think it would be so much fun to do a couples get away. What a great idea!
You guys Always do fun cool stuff! I wish we had that here in okie
the best part is apple baseball!!! You look great by the way! Hope your feeling great too ;)
Janie, this looks like so much fun! We went apple picking a couple years ago, but no apple ball. Love it!
I can't tell if you looking at your fun/beautiful pictures from apple picking makes me feel like I had more or less fun than I remember having. On one hand, I'm jealous--was I as beautiful as Janie when I was picking apples? (unlikely); on the other hand, apple picking is apple picking, and it was totally awesome.
Come around more often. You guys are a delight.
cool pictures,
apple orchard. what a perfect place to be in the fall
