Autumn has arrived

Yesterday we went to a cider making party at our neighbor's house. They have this party every year and this is the first time that we have actually made it over there. Everyone brings apples from their trees and makes tons of cider. It was lots of fun. We all took turns working at the cider press and Sadie and Leo roasted marshmallows for the first time! Of course Sadie had a great time as Finn's parents were the ones having the party. Leo was just so excited to be able to go to Finn's house. I feel bad for Leo because almost every day Finn comes over and he and Sadie go off to play. Leo always wants to join them, but we tell him that he has to get bigger before he can go to Finn's house. Yesterday when I told him we were going to Finn's house he said "am I bigger now?", to which I sadly replied no. There is no way I would subject Sean and Jeanne (Finn's parents) to trying to keep track of Leo over there. He so wants to be a big kid like Sadie and Finn! He gets so excited when they come back to our house, but they never seem to stay here long. Anyway, here are some pics from the party...

You can barely see James in the way back by the cider press (he's wearing a green hat) and Leo in the foreground riding Finn's scooter


Here is the cider press up close...
