Sunday night. Busy weekend.

Today we went apple picking. We met up with Sarah/Hannah/Andrew and Amy/Sofia/Virginia, and Aunt Tequila, who is visiting from NY, also joined us and was very helpful with the picking. The girls picked many, many, many apples, as well as two huge bushels of raspberries. They did a great job.
