This weekend we headed up to Wachusett Mountain with

missamay for Applefest. I am very tired but glad we went. Tab had a blast and was thrilled there was another small one to run amuck with. They hit laser tag, the pony rides, the moonwalk, the obstacle course, watched the pie eating contests, saw a birds of prey show (well about half of one), and got caramel apples. We drank apple cider and ate apple crisp (mmm I think I am going to make some more this week). The kids even got to help make some apple cider at a demo area.

I was incredibly impressed by how brave they both were going on the sky lift. Besides one lost bag (which was recovered!) there were no issues at all. This also led to my favorite quote of the afternoon. In the immortal words of one of the small ones "I am brave because of video games." If the ride had been 15 minutes longer I think both kids would have conked out on the way home. As it was they were both flushed and heavy-lidded as they stumbled into the house, only to begin running a muck once again

Several days later and I still don't think I have recovered though. I am not sure if I caught something out in the cold or it is just fatigue but I have been feeling awful all day. I may end up missing class tonight in favor of just heading home to curl up in bed for a few extra hours.
