Today for picture fall we were supposed to "take some time out" for ourselves.

I thought this was ironic, because I don't take much time for myself, except for taking pictures. So we went for a little walk by the river and brought some donuts and fresh apple cider from the apple orchard. It was good for both me and the kids :)
