Mr. Apple Meets the Yankees

Ms. Wilson is taking Mr. Apple to Wrigley Field in Chicago (home of the Chicago Cubs baseball team) tonight. She's a HUGE Yankees fan and is excited to take a "local" New Yorker with her to cheer on her team. Surely, Mr. Apple is a Yankees fan?! He is tight-lipped about his loyalties, but seems cheerful enough to keep Ms. Wilson company. Now, it's supposed to rain, complete with thunder and lightning, so the game might be rescheduled. If not, I should have some AWESOME pictures to share Wednesday morning. Let's go YANKEES! (Hey, they're playing the Cubs - boooooo! - so a win is in the bag)

See my comment in the comments section below for the results of the game.

Mr. Apple: Big City, Meet Small Town!

Mr. Apple arrived some time ago - during our busiest time of year - and I have been remiss in posting about his adventures. So far, he's gone biking with the entire school, been on an adventurous overnight field trip, hung out at students' homes, and visited our local marina. This weekend, he's going to a fun carnival called St. Mary's Festival; there will be rides, games, and lots of deep-fried everything! We'll be SURE to keep you posted this time.
