Perfect Day for Apple Pickin'

Dave and I went apple picking in Maple Park on Sunday with some friends. The day started out looking pretty gloomy, but ended up being a bright and sunny day in the end! At the apple orchard, we walked through the gift store and tried out the hot apple cider...mmmm, good! Then we got a short hayride to the start of the orchard and walked the rest of the way. We ended up picking Empire, Fuji and Golden Delicious apples to bring home (I think half of them were Fuji, which are Dave's favorite). After apple picking, we finished up by watching the second half of the Bears game at a sports bar in downtown Geneva.

As for the house, no new pictures, but we did have our pre-drywall meeting yesterday afternoon. We spent 2 hours walking through the house with one of the Pulte construction mgrs and then we video taped and took lots of pictures of the house. Sounds like they have two different inspections the house has to go through (1 prior to insulation and 1 after) and then they will start drywalling on Friday. So, it should get more exciting now to see the inside come together! The only unfortunate thing that came out of the meeting is they are tentatively scheduling closing for Nov. 28th, but we've asked for them to at least move up to the day before Thanksgiving if at all possible, which sounds like it can be done.
