Short Valley Trip

We made a quick trip to the Valley Friday night to watch Jill play volleyball. They played EAC and beat them quite easily. In fact, so easily that Jill didn't play as much as usual. Normally, she plays the whole time. But we did get to see her play and then we went to Bahama Buck's and got Bahama Rhama Mama's -- try saying that three times quickly.

We came home around noon on Saturday so we could attend our ward party, which was an apple fest. It was really a good party with lots of apple activities and we also watched Johnny Appleseed.

We got some apple facts:
*Two pounds of apples make one 9-inch pie
*It takes energy from 50 leaves to produce one apple
*China is the largest producer of apples, then the US and Turkey, Poland and Italy round out the top five.
