camping...

we went camping with the hollobaughs... it was their "ward campout" and we tagged-along... it was so last minute... and so fun!  

i love camping!  

she got her thumb...

we went camping...

she loved it... i had her snuggled in 5 blankets to keep warm... and she did stay warm...

"wake-up time" as jones calls it...

brent and ellis at the camp site...

loved this picture i got of sally...

and shauna can get way better pictures of jones since her camera is way faster... he doesnt hold still too often...

then we went to an apple orchard to pick our own apples and pears...

these pears were so yummy!  so of the best i have ever had!!!

top right :: he HAD to wear the sunglasses... i promise, that although i bought them, i did not make him wear them... 

holy pine cones... these were almost the size of my head...

i promise i was there...

then on to julian for some famous apple pie...

this poor bug was so innocently being watched... then jones smashed it with his shoe... i guess i am going to have to tone down the eagerness of him killing the spiders around our house for me... he got too excited... and this hasnt been the first time a "good" bug has died...

finally... the pie...

we went to two different pie shops... julian pie co. and moms... they were both very yummy...

but my favorite was from julian pie co... the caramel apple pie, warmed up, with cinnamon ice cream...

um... now my mouth is watering...

my least favorite... brent ordered one of the most popular items... old fashion apple pie with a slice of cheddar cheese melted on top... it was... interesting...

we had fun!!!
