Last weekend Cody had a lot of homework and we both spoke in church, so naturally our weekend was ruined. The good news is that Cody finished all of his homework for that weekend and we made it through our talks! The other good news is that I only had to work on Monday and Tuesday this week and then got Wed-Fri off because of MEA (like UEA in Utah). I was able to do a little shopping, clean the house, and start thinking about Christmas presents.
Friday Cody was able to escape from his homework for an afternoon and we made the most out of it. We started at Afton Apple in Hastings, MN. This was our first time apple picking and we had a blast. We started by tasting the different kinds of apples that were available to pick. We ultimately decided on Connell Red and Regent apples. We then took a hay ride that dropped us off at the different apple locations so we could start picking. Cody was an expert apple picker and climbed a couples trees in search of the best apples our money could buy. We then drove by a huge pumpkin patch and decided to pick out our pumpkins while we were at it.

Ever seen a deflated pumpkin? Now you have!
After picking all we could carry, we headed off to go bowling. I bought a groupon for 2 hours of bowling and we milked it for all it was worth! We bowled 8 games each and our arms were tired by the end. We bowled normal, bowled with our left hands, I tried spinning the ball for an entire game, and we bowled 'granny' style. Cody bowled a high of 224 and I bowled a high of 163 so we were pretty happy with ourselves (it only took til the 6th game to post these scores, maybe we just haven't been bowling long enough before!)
After bowling we headed home to make an apple streusel for the Stake Relief Society meeting that I attended Saturday morning.
Saturday night was our Ward Trunk or Treat and this was the first time I have participated in one. We decorated our trunk and passed out all of the candy we brought so now we need to go buy more for next week!
