Saturday morning David and Matthew had a guys' morning out. David loaded Matthew and his shirts in the wagon and they went off to the dry cleaners. After dropping off the shirts they went to the barbershop, where they both got haircuts. Then David took Matthew to the park and let him play for a while. It was nice for them to spend the morning together, and nice for me to have a morning alone with Scarlett.
Yesterday we went to a nearby apple orchard. Matthew seemed to really enjoy it - we looked at pumpkins and he played in their straw play area. They also had an old tractor set up for children to climb on and he liked "driving" it. We went on a hayride that took us through the orchard where we were able to get out and pick apples. I think it was neat for Matthew to see where apples come from, even though I'm not sure he's old enough to make the connection. We did let him pick the apples, so maybe! He also went on a pony ride - one of the kind where the ponies go in circles. He loved that! Then we let him play in an inflatable pumpkin - he seemed a little nervous in it at first, not sure of his footing, but he got the hang of it and jumped and ran around. Then we shopped in the bakery for apple treats...YUM! The only downside to the day was the hot temperature - it is hard to do fall activities when it is 90 degrees!
