Festival fun
Jake loved the Apple Festival. He got to bring his best friend, and they rode rides. He watched the parade and ate a huge funnel cake by himself. He said he can't wait to go again next year!

Waiting is so hard…

It’s been a year, Cooper

Jake wanted cake yesterday for a little snack, but since I'm trying to eat healthier, I didn't want to make an entire cake.
