October 9, 2022 Frozen and Encanto Disney on Ice. Then apple picking at Stribling (last weekend of the season), then a drive in the countryside where we; brayed clucked, neighed, mooed, gobbled, based at every animal we saw on the drive. Good times. Erin climbed a tree to get apples with Curie while Elia’s version of apple picking was sitting in the car protected from bugs eating kettle corn with Albert. The Best part of the day was talking to the animals, we’d drive near them, slow down, and “speak” to them in their “own languages.” The nice part was everyone got into it and we were raucous. Cars had to drive around us on the country road. We don’t have pictures of any of this because we were too busy having fun.
