Apple Fest

The kids and I went to the Penoach Winery Apple Festival on Saturday. My friend Kelly and her daughter Sayler went with us. It was a warm day for an apple festival -usually we're in our long sleeves. But I'm not complaining, I know in just a few short months I'll be whining about how cold it is. The kids ate lunch, picked out apples, went on a horse drawn wagon ride. Landry thought the horse were "doggies" and went absolutely crazy when she saw them. She yelled "DOGGIES!" at the top of her lungs. Kelly & I sampled the wine and I chased Landry non-stop. She is unbelievably BUSY!

Tyler and some other neighbor guys golfed in a tournament. Let's just say - they didn't win. I went out with some friends Saturday for dinner. We tried a new restaurant in West Des Moines called "GRAZE". It's actually owned by a chef from Burlington. He also is connected with Martini's in Burlington (the famous Chicken Lips!) So when we got there I told the chefs wife I was originally from Burlington and I was bringing my friends to try the chicken lips. We ended up with the best seat in the house called "Alice in Wonderland". And got "The Big Ass" dessert sent to our table at he end of the night. Anyone who has seen "the big ass" knows it's earned it's name! After dinner we ventured to another new spot called "Blue Moon" - it's a piano bar and totally FUN! If you've never been to a dueling piano bar - YOU MUST GO! There are a couple in town and they are a BLAST.

Landry is running around with all her babies right now being mom... and Cole is running the backyards with a gang of boys. The weather is beautiful and my house is clean - what more can I ask for!

The song on the montage is called "Chicken Fried" by Zac Brown Band. It's my favorite song right now. It's the one song I blare from my computer on a daily basis! I could play it over and over! The song is just sooo me, our neighborhood, town, our life!
