Apple Picking

I think this picture looks like the cover of a rock album



I miss Chicago dearly, but one of the advantages that Pennsylvania has are places like HopeWell Furnace. It's a national park that preserves the old iron furnace and surrounding town that provided all of the guns for the revolution. They also let you pick apples out of their orchard for a reasonable fee!

Even though the stick is triple his height, Oliver overcame his handicap.

That's an outhouse from the 1700's, Oliver seemed less than enthusiastic.

It was one of the best little family weekends that we have ever had. All I can hope is that Oliver grows up to appreciate all of the national parks around us here in Philly. Valley Forge, Jim Thorpe, and HopeWell make the big move from Chicago a little easier to transition from. Thanks for reading!
