The Perfect Saturday

What better way to spend a Saturday than hanging out in an Orchard in Michigan picking your own apples and raspberries, eating fresh apple pie and seeing Lake Michigan? The day started out pretty good, too. We got to sleep in, run in the beautiful crisp air of Michigan, have amazing Middle Eastern food, the best Baklava I've ever eaten, and see a "G Sale". The picture doesn't even need explaining, it was just that good it explains itself. It was so beautiful at the orchard, it almost looked like a painting, but it wasn't, God is just that good! It was wonderful to get some fresh air and actually pick and eat our own apples. BV had a knife with him and cut us each pieces so we could taste each one before we picked them (or left them if they were too sour). We had our fill of fiber for the day for sure :-). The orchard was about 5 miles from the Lake, and even though we didn't get to walk the shoreline, the view was incredible. It doesn't even look like a lake, but more like an ocean. It was great. We also got to hang out with some new friends from the road, a really fun couple (campus ministers) and eat a home cooked meal and watch some fun re-runs of The Office. Does it get any better than that? It really was the perfect Saturday!
