Audrey and Kate had a fun fall outing with their friend Jackson this morning. It started with a trip to Slappy Cakes on SE Belmont, where they got to make pancakes on a griddle built right into their table. For their pancake toppings, the kids chose blueberries, chocolate chips, and bacon (because everything tastes better with bacon!). After breakfast, they walked to Portland Nursery on Stark Street for the annual Apple Festival. There, the three painted baby pumpkins, tested out some jump ropes and hula hoops, got their face or arm painted, and had some popcorn and fresh-squeezed apple cider. They also got to taste-test a wide variety of apples and pears. Kate was quite into the tasting, trying just about all the apples and pears available, asking what each was called, and repeating back their names. Prompted by some activities sponsored by Kellogg's, Ethan as a joke got Audrey, Kate, and Jackson chanting, "No, no, GMO!" They really liked that, and kept chanting it for the rest of their time at the Festival. They were very cute little activists! (If the slide show below doesn't work, click here.)
