A is for Apple

Today we went to The Big Apple, no not New York. The Big Apple is a farm near us in Wrentham, MA. It is a working apple farm with apple cider, pies and fresh baked donuts. Allison and I decided that we needed to get some apples so that she could make applesuace, something that Eva loves. Also, Eva is a huge fan of fruit, she loves bananas (great), apples, peaches, pears and many others, I even picked her up a mango or two at the store today.

The trip is a quick one so we had time to sit on a bench and watch Eva attack and enjoy an apple. Allison made a tiny bite to get Eva started but once that was under way Eva had no problem powering through the rest, skin and all. While Eva ate I took photos of her, I think I should contact the apple growers coalition or something and see if they need a new posterkid.

Something really odd is going on when I try and write a blog post on The BenSpark. The Custom Field section is in a constant look for blog author. This only started happening after I imported 1797 posts from my wordpress.com blog to The BenSpark. Those posts came from my Blogger blog originally and I wonder if something got switched on and made this perpetual loop.

Either way I cannot write a post on The Benspark first. I have to write it somewhere like here on Utterli and then post to my blog then I can edit the post. It is so strange. IT works fine for my Photo-A-Day posts because I write an Utterli post first anyway but I usually write something completely different for The BenSpark. Of course I just realized that I could have written the top part on Utterli and the rest in WordPress. Oh well, live and learn.

Oliver is enjoying the prayer shawl that Allison has been making. He enjoys taking some time to appreciate Allison’s work. The prayer shawl is for a special ministry at our local church. Allison has made a couple of these and each one is better than the next.

Today we went to Bass Pro Shops to see Santa arrive on a bass boat. I had not been to this particular shop yet. I’ve been to a few of them in other states and each one is an experience. In this one there are two floors and so many many things to see. We went there to see Santa and we stayed for a while and had dinner. Eva had her 1st hot dog. She devoured it too. Here are some photos from the event.

After that we came home and put Eva to bed. We left her with a sitter for the 1st time too. My cousin Maddie and her friend came over to make sure everything was well. We then went to the opening of my my cousin’s frame shop, The Preservation Framer. We stayed for a bit and then went for food with some of my aunts and uncles and cousins. We ended up having to take our food to go because there was 10 of us and we had only said that we would be out till 9:00pm. I wasn’t sure if my cousin would pick up the house phone if I called it or if it would wake the baby. So we took our food to go. I would have liked to have stayed a little longer with everyone because it is always fun to catch up. Also I thought we would have time to eat and go back to the frame shop. I wanted to get more opening night photos, too. I only took this one and well I was messing with the manual settings and this was the best of the bunch.

You can’t do everything. Sometimes I have to remember that.
