Day Trip

Scott and I took the day and went up to Lake Geneva for some outdoor fun! It was the perfect time since the trees were beautiful colors. We stopped at an apple orchard on our way back and picked some awesome apples! We tried to make apple pie when we got home, but that attempt failed miserably. How hard can it be to make an apple pie?? Oh well, you live and learn! :)









This is a HUGE mansion on the lake. It used to be all one home, then it was sold and became a christian school (many years ago) and when that failed, it was bought and turned into condos. There are 6 condos in this building. It's beautiful!




There is a trail all around the lake so you can basically walk in people's yards. One home had a cool bridge that has tons of cool quotes on it. This is me next to a quote from my favorite musical, Wicked. The quote says "Take a message back for me...Tell them how I defied gravity...and no one that ever was or ever will be will ever bring me down!" These are lyrics from one of the songs at the climax of the musical!



So when Scott and I got to the orchard, they hand you a map and tell you which rows still have apples to pick. So Scott and I went on our merry way, and the first row we came to was this one (and for the record, Scott thought THESE were the trees we were supposed to pick the apples from) I did not see any apples to be picked but Scott insisted that we walk the whole row because THAT'S where the apples were!



Meanwhile...these are what the trees looked like one row over...hmmmm....looks like some good apple pickin' trees to me!! :)


Finally, we found the right trees!
















Scott wanted me to take pictures of the cows. Not sure why!!
