My mom and sister decided to visit Labor Day weekend.  We took them to Edward's Apple Orchard in Poplar Grove.  I thought that my mom might like the little shop that they have.  In the farm animal barn they had baby animals, including a calf, two kids (baby goat), pigs (they were pretty old already), and a few more animals.  The calf wouldn't let Mark pet it because all it wanted to do was lick his hand. 

We had to get apple doughnuts and apples.  My mom also got apple jelly, and we got some mozzarella garlic spread. 

After that we decided to go to the farmer's market to see what fresh produce we could get.  They didn't have strawberries for the apple strawberry pie we were going to make, but they did have sweet corn, peaches, and watermelons.  So for dinner we had sweet corn and chicken sandwiches with tomatoes from our garden.  

We decided to have a small fire in the backyard with smores.  Bill, Tanya, Lauren, Phil, and Sue also came over to enjoy it with us.
