Apple picking + San Diego

This weekend while I was visiting my sister and her little family in San Diego, we went apple picking! I have been wanting to go this fall and am so glad we did. Gosh I just love fall.

My nephews were pretty excited to pick out pumpkins, and even more excited to fill our bag with apples. We didn't borrow an apple picking stick, and when we decided to, they were all gone of course. So we used kids and a 6'2" man instead. It was more fun that anyway. We all stood on the ground as my brother-in-law held up each little boy to stretch his little arms to grab the perfect apples we were pointing at. What a sight it was.

I am so happy that I was able to take a mid-term break to visit my family for the weekend. It is just so nice to get away and I miss them all the time.

Well, now that I'm home, here's to another full week of schoollwork and hopefully some cozy fall things!

Take me away.

I am in San Diego this weekend!

I love that it is only an hour and fifteen minute plane ride. I fell asleep before we even took off and woke up with only about 25 minutes to eat some peanuts and listen to music before we landed. What a nice way to sneak in an afternoon nap.

I am so happy to be here. I have missed my family dearly. As soon as I got out of the car at my sister's house, I heard my nephew immediately ask my brother-in-law where Aunt Jess was. So cute :) I was greeted with gifts of oragami shapes and envelopes that my other nephew worked so hard on just for me.

It is amazing how much my nephews grow and all of the new things they are doing the next time I see them. My oldest nephew, Caleb, read me a story tonight! And taught me how to make oragami things. Since when did he get so old?!

I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend of just hanging out and doing kid stuff.
Sometimes it is just good to get away.
