I have weeks of blog material to post but no time to actually sit down and sort through and recap.
BUT today we had such a lovely afternoon, the perfect fall day, sunny, warm, colorful and very relaxing that I decided to post the present before I post the past.
The Ls are off school today (perfect for the day after HIGH sugar consummation) and we decided (after GM and GP left to go back to the beach) to go to our most beloved Ardenwood's Farm in Fremont, with the Hanzie mama and Lulu's BOYfriend in tow.
I so LOVE, LOVE this place ... this place is sort of frozen in time and when you have the leasure to go during the week, when nobody else is going, you end up having the entire farm PLUS staff to yourself.
And thats exactly what happened to us today, on this picture perfect day!
So here are some random pictures of a blissful day in the sun with family and GOOD friends!
