Milburn Orchards

Poor abandoned children (and Adleigh)

Part of the fun of having family in town is pawning your kids off on them while you go out on a date! One of my former young women was getting married in the DC temple, so Jon & I did a session before the sealing while the family watched our kids.  Then we ditched them again that night to attend the dinner and reception. It was a lovely way to celebrate our tenth anniversary!

The kids got to have adventures of their own. Seth got to pretend he was a Knox all day, which is basically his dream come true. Catherine & Aaron went with the family on an adventure to Milburn Orchards. Catherine made it extra exciting by throwing up on the drive and having to wear Adleigh's clothes all day. So sorry, everyone!

Apparently it was an exhausting day.

The kids had a blast!

Maybe we should ditch them more often...
