Apples & In-Laws

So my in-laws are better than yours. No hard feelings, but it's fact.

The Donaldson's came down to Tucson and paid a well-worth visit. Friday night, we partied hard at the U of A game. {yes it's all foreign to me. Born and raised a Sun Devil... let that sink in} I sported a cute red flannel shirt so don't be hatin'.

Saturday was packed with fun. All of us sleepy-eyed-late-night-partiers woke up and drove up to Wilcox for some apple pickin' in Annies Orchard. {it's even dreamier in real life}.

The smells of fresh popped kettle corn filled the air.
Apple Bread
Apple Jam
Apple Pie
Apple smoked hamburgers...

ANYTHING apple, it was all there.

We chowed on some burgers and headed straight to the orchard. You could sample everything, from apples, to peaches, to pears! My taste buds were doing a happy dance!

After filling our buckets to the brim, I headed to the cute little country store. I saw that they were having a free pie raffle. I entered my name and ended up winning! I never win these things! I don't think I stopped smiling all day.

A couple hours went by and we headed home to take a rest. The Donaldson's always show a good time. We snacked and chatted and shared a good belly laugh.

We made plans for dinner with Papa Red and Grammy to meet them up at Pinnacle Peak. It's a cute little Western Town with the most fun atmosphere. At their restaurant they forbid ties. So the rebellious little me brought a Halloween tie for them to cut off. Ha it was a good laugh!

All of us were stuffed and head back to our place. We ended the night with a swim and several Dateline episodes.

I wasn't ready for them to leave on Sunday! They all mean the world to me!

So the question is Donaldson's... Who's up for round two?!
