Visiting Dear Friends

This post is way overdue, but one of my goals for the New Year (see how I avoided accountability by calling it a goal instead of a resolution?) is to blog more, so I'm doing that and not worrying about the timing.

Anyway, in late November we went to visit our dear friends Keith and Chanda in Sacramento. Their two boys are pretty much the same ages as our kids and our two families had so much fun together. They were WONDERFUL hosts, planing delicious meals and super fun outings and we enjoyed our time in the evenings just talking with them and getting caught up. We had enough points from our Jet Blue American Express card to get the whole family there for free and it worked out great for us to stay with them in their lovely home. 

One of the outings was to Apple Hill, a fun family place to enjoy fall. We had some apple cider and apple donuts and walked around enjoying the very fall weather and trees.

 The kids played so well together; we are all really pleased with how much fun they had.

Another one of our great outings was going to Chanda's grandparents' farm. There were tons of cows for the kids to look at, as we headed out in the truck and explored.

 And of course, there were tractors! Our city kids really had such a fun time.

We were so grateful for a good visit with friends and so glad for the ease of traveling with young kids. We can't wait to go again!
