Apple Jack's & 80th Birthday Celebration

On Saturday we went to Apple Jack's apple orchard and met Carla and the kids.  It was the perfect fall day!  The last couple years we seem to go on days when it's cool/cold and windy but not this year.  It was much more enjoyable when we weren't all bundled up.  The kids always have a blast and it's always fun to go with Bishop & Nora!  The kids can't get enough of their cousins - melts my heart to know they love them so much!

Then on Sunday we went to the Pizza Ranch in Lakeville for a surprise 80th birthday party for Great Grandma Darlene.  She had no idea and was so thrilled when she realized we were all there for her!
