What a week

I'm so glad to finally have a day to just relax. Monday I took the day off to go on Kim's first field trip. We went with her class to Walter's Fruit Farm. We learned all about apples. This particular farm has 26 different varieties of apples. There are 2500 different kinds in American and there are 7500 different kinds of apples in the world. Who would have thought that you could get that many varieties out of Red, Yellow, Green ~ Sweet and Tart.

The kids all got to pick their own apples off the trees. They learned about how apple cider is made. They also got to pick a pumpkin.
They got to pet goats, go through a hay bale maze, they played on this big slide together and also got to play in a sandbox that was full of dried peas. We all had lunch together on the farm too. We are looking forward to Halloween when we get to go to Cat Tales. It was a great day for all the kids.

The rest of the week wasn't quite as good. My boss's granddaughter, 6 year old Gracie, was rushed to the hospital on Sunday with a severe case of pneumonia. She has been in Pediatric ICU at Sacred Heart since. She's had 2 surgeries this past week and has been in a drug induced coma and on a respirator since Wednesday night. If you believe in the power of prayer please keep this sweet little girl in your prayers.

Due to Gracie being so sick I spent most of the week in the office by myself. Doing more then my normal daily work. Making for a long tiring week. But it's all ok because we do what we have to do. And the most important thing is that Gracie gets well soon.
