The start page for my vacation scrapbook.  

Day 1 and 2 are chronicled. I liked this first picture layout pretty well. Tried shaping pictures around some themed paper. 

Liked this simple layout. I thought it showcased the hotel view pics well, and I tried out my new scalloped scissors. 

Didn't like the way this one turned out--the pics weren't really good either, since we had already messed up the rooms :) Couldn't piece them together the way I imagined. 

Tried cutting out picture shapes here for some dolphins and a gull. 

Day 2 of our vacation. I think I like this layout pretty well. 

My new vacation scrapbook--days 1 and 2 are chronicled. Hope you enjoy!

My love in action today--letting the kids paint! Yes, I AM brave. Thank you.

Zoe gets her hands into today's painting session. All washable paints, mind you. And she looks flattering in her Kroger bag, don't you think? 

Notice the garbage bags I used for painting smocks. I'm a genius, right?  

Painting is serious work. 

My painters. 

Look at those legs!! Wooo! 

Zoe, the one-shoed wonder--she loves to put on one shoe and walk around the house.  

The Apple Orchard Revisited!!

Finally got Hello to work after I uninstalled it and re-installed it. So enjoy all my pics.

Zoe took the day in stride! She had a great time too--she really loved the farm animals! 

Hearing the story of Johnny Appleseed. 

The farm cats--I don't think they liked each other, but the kids loved them! 

Meg looks like the only one excited to go pick apples. 

Watching apple sorting. 

Apples ready to be sorted. 

Apples were stacked to the ceiling in the cooler room. 

Store goodies. 

The orchard--a cool fall day made it just right! 

Yum! 

Mr. Luke showing us how to pick apples. You TWIST, don't PULL. 

"Buddy's" first apple. 

What kids do when you want them to be still and pose.
