Apple Picking in the Valley

Thanksgiving weekend brought with it sunny skies and warm, beautiful weather. On the Saturday the four of us went to Riverbreeze Farm to enjoy the province's biggest corn maze, giant sling shots and outdoor fun. Photo: Ashley preparing to launch her ball from the sling shot. Hit the target and win an ice cream!

Being the first day of Sunday shopping, Rob decided he should go into work that Sunday so the kids and I went to the Valley for some apple and pumpkin picking. Did we really need 25 pounds of apples? No. But did we have fun picking them? Yes.

Our neighbours Roy & Joanne were kind enough to invite us over for Thanksgiving dinner on the Sunday. We had a really nice time and it was great having turkey and not having to do all the work.
