If you like apples....

If you like apples, which I don't know who doesn't, there is an apple festival in Oak Glen. Russell and I go every year. It's lots of fun! You can pick your own apples, make your own apple cider. And there is usually a petting zoo, yummy apple baked goods. My favorite is apple butter (more like how they make peanutbutter then "butter"). Their apple cider taste so fresh you can almost taste the dirt off the peel. And trust me that is a good thing.

For more information on the Apple Festival click here.

Don't forget cherry season is May through Mid July. And lots of Strawberry Festivals in May.

ALSO stay tuned to visit the largest corn maze in Southern California!

Donate Life

Well as I sign up for different races some of them are for great causes. One that I'm doing on May 1st is for organ donation by the organization Donate Life. If you feel lead here is the link if you want to help out financially. If you want to run the race here is the link to be a part of it that way. : )

Olympics

If you don't watch or pay attention to the Olympics you will be looked at as an alien in this household. But in case you don't have a ton of time to watch it on TV I found this cool website or this one. So now you have no excuse.

Personally, I want one of these flashlights. But I don't think I would pay an arm and a leg for them on ebay later.
