 An Apple Orchard is a perfect playground.
What an amazingly perfect day!!! We had so much fun meeting our friends in Julian for some good, fun, adventure! Hailey came with us...a friend whom I love like a sister. I have known her since the day she was born. The kids had a blast, climbing on everything, making cider, feeding animals, petting chickens, and going on a hay ride. Everyone was tired, ready for naps, but us mamas pushed them through with a perfect stop for ice cream and we got ourselves some yummy apple pie. We then picked apples until our hearts were content at Raven Hill Orchard (and ate more than we brought home, of course!)

Do I really need to write anything? Hopefully the pictures tell you the story of how awesome and fun our adventure as a family to Kauai was! I wish we were still on this adventure. It was perfect in every way. We had amazing friends around us at all times, soaking up vitamin d all day everyday, surfing til our muscles hurt, enjoying the beautiful fruit (okay, in cocktails most of the time) that Kauai offers and dancing until our hearts were content! Watching our awesome friends get married was an extra bonus! They are beautiful people, amazing friends and it was so special celebrating their day with them. We love you friends, we love you Kauai and hope to see you again soon!
