An Apple a Day!

If the Summer's career plans don't work out as planned...  we could always work the orchard!

Kyle and I went up to his parent's house this weekend and had a blast picking apples with his mom.  I got to climb trees, and throw apples at kyle (sounds fun right!)
We picked 3 boxes full of different kinds including: granny smiths, johnny, galas and red delicious.  I'm going to try my hand at canning apple sauce and pie filling.  Ky's mom sent me home with a few jars I may pass off as my own if things don't go as planned.

My own mother is planning a trip up to Tremonton to do a little picking.

I also have to let ya'll know I ran the Park City Pink Series Half Marathon with Angie Larsen from my work and her sisters.  They couldn't have been nicer to me!  We had a little girls night on Friday and to be honest I ran so fast because I wanted to see my Kyle at the finish line.  Bless his heart for braving the snow and rain (seriously!) to come see me waddle across the finish line.

I would suggest training, but honestly I feel great!

Disney Land Itinerary

I didn't get to post enough about our trip to the happiest place on earth  Disneyland.

We planned this trip with the family a few months ago, and crazy Amanda came out.  Jokingly (or maybe too seriously)  a few family members called me the Travel Agent.  I had every half hour of the day planned with activities, the order of the rides we were to go on, who was in charge of what snack (because there were 2) planned down to the half hour!  Bless Kyle's heart, he was very patient with me, even when I went alittle nutso because I lost our backpack (the one time I was in charge of it, which really threw off the plans)

A few notes for next trip:
-plan a few "unplanned" or "free time" times
-Wake Emily and Amy up at least 1 hour before the rest of the family
-always bring Grandma Anderson.  She doesn't ever complain and is a huge help
-Rent a wheel chair for grandma to sit in.
-Bring better shoes (i did follow the packing list I made and did bring 2 pairs of touring shoes but one really sucked)
-Calm down.  I was so worried about everyone else having a perfect trip that I was a ball of stress and I probably didn't make Kyle's trip the best.  But because he is the best, he rolled with me.

Let me know if you need help planning your next trip (If i'm not there, you can follow your own plans and not my itinerary)
Here are a few more pictures:
