Arbor Day Farm

We spent a night at the arbor day lodge, went apple pickng at Kimmel Orchard, and trekked through the Farm's Tree Adventure. It was really a lot of fun and a good educational experience about nature! We came home and made apple crisp with our yummy apples straight off the trees!








Julia teaching Jade about apples!





First bite! Yummy!








Making mommy cringe by eating (aka sucking on) an unwashed, non-organic apple. Love Kimmel but the white residue from sprays was all over the apples!





Checking out the hotel pool!





At the park across the street from the Lodge.








Jade looved the metal slide - good thing it was cloudy!


Love this one!!

Jade's First Birthday!

Jade didnt seem to mind her birthday being sandwiched between traveling family, husker football, weddings, etc. It was a fun day for us and her and marks the near end of babydom for our little baby. . Sniff. She is not quite walking, though getting closer each day! She is saying hi, more, uh oh, a modified version of bailey, woof woof like bailey, more, daddy, mommy and up! Good verbalizing for one!

She received all sorts of lovely gifts from everyone and moderately enjoyed her cake... Pretty clean by the end!
