Remlinger Farms

We had a blast last Sunday going to Remlinger's Farms with our buds Vivienne, Winston and Cecily. This "farm" is actually a kiddie paradise with tons of rides for the little tykes and a seasonal u-pick area. The last time we can here was a few years ago and Evie was way too scared to go on any of the rides but now she's brave and was first in line to try any ride! Nora was shy at first but she got the hang of it and was having fun too. The weather was miserably hot (90s and humid) but I can't complain much because we had the park practically to ourselves! It was so nice not having to wait in any lines. 




Evie got to ride Strawberry, a sweet mini horse.

Not sure what Evie is doing here, but she wasn't holding on!

Nora, a bit unsure about this twirly ride....She ended up loving it.

I love this pic. Jeff's pumpkin was "broken" and wouldn't go high.
You can see Nora sitting with Scott just barely peeking her head out and waving to me.
And then the big girls having fun high in the sky!

The Mine Twister was the "big kids rollercoaster". 

The big kids loved it! Nora was a little frightened.

Yeah, this horse is way more Nora's speed!

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.  

1 week checkup

We took Nora to her one week check up today and guess what? We have a porker on our hands! She weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs. 5.5 oz. That's 2.5 oz more than her birth weight! They want the baby to be back at birth weight within 2 weeks so she beat that milestone pretty handily. Hooray! So far, she's been better than Evie at eating (she doesn't take nearly as long, although she falls asleep VERY often) but she's not as good as Evie at pooping. Poor thing always seems to have tummy issues - she's very squirmy and fussy when she doesn't burp or poop. The doc doesn't think it's a big problem though since she still has lots of wet diapers, but we'll have to keep a better eye on it now. We'll have another doctor check up (with shots!) next week.

Apple tasting

Over the weekend we popped into the free Apple Tasting and Cider Making at the Orcas Island Historical Museum and it was amazing! There had to have been 30+ varieties and all of them can be found locally on the island. We had a lot of fun sampling away, tasting new varieties that I've never even heard of like Albermarle Pippin or Kennebec or early Fuji or Ashmael Kernel. I hope they do this again next year. Who wants to go with us?
