Big sigh of relief for you after such a sucky week….AAaaaaaaahhhhhhh. Not only do I love that you had such a great weekend, but that after reading about it I feel the warmth and joy that you felt.

What a perfect way to refresh from last week. I only wish we had done the same. There is an orchard very close to us, but I don’t think it has a train and you would have definately missed out on the trip to Merrickville. It is a delightful town for sure. TwimMom has the right idea with high tea. What a perfect Saturday, hope it sets the perfect tone for the rest of the week.

now I’m craving a freshly picked apple!
and you certainly got a few perfect snapshots of your beautiful boys, the morning light certainly made them justice
isn’t Merrickville a cute little town?, if you go without kids for some shopping, have lunch or high tea at the Sam Jakes Inn, yum
