One of the many many reasons I married Superguy is that he is totally into the idea of family togetherness. As many in the Guilt No More Community at large know, the general term for family togetherness when outside the four walls of one's (incredibly disorderly) house is FFO: Fun Family Outing. And Superguy not only buys the concept, he really comes up with the best ideas for FFO's.
However, one thing I am happy to contribute to this marriage is the longstanding tradition of apple-picking as an FFO. For years now, we have gone to some sort of orchard each fall, and stocked up on apples that taste like apples, pumpkins that have personality, and generally an assortment of jars filled with honey, jam, salsa, etc. not made in Chinese sweatshops.
The kids are filled with glee. I am slightly apprehensive (underneath the glee) because there are not that many more days before I am due to have this latest little baby, and would not like to go into labor whilst picking apples in a faraway section of orchard far to the west of the hospital. However, I've never been a quick labor gal, and at this point it might be preferable to just stimulate labor even at the expense of an FFO.
Will report after our trip!
