Sky Top

It turned out to be a beautiful day when we went apple picking at Sky Top in Flat Rock, NC. Unlike last year, there were tons of apples. Hailey had fun licking her apple since she wasn't going to get much chomping done with only one tooth. Ian had a sampling of all the different kinds of apples and he didn't even end up getting sick after such an exorbitant intake. It's a fun tradition that we look forward to every year in the fall. We came back with lots of delicious apples and have already enjoyed one apple pie and apple crisp . . .with plenty left over to make more this week.

This was Hailey's apple that she kept a tight grip on the entire time.
First pick of the day

One for you and one for me (They're sharing, really!!)

We were so glad that Ben and Candice got to come along.

Picking with Pappy

Ben was the best apple picker since he could reach the big ones at the top of the trees.

All of us

Growing Up

Ian, our energetic, fun-loving 2 year old loves to keep us laughing.

Hailey has decided she likes Ian's cars better than her baby dolls.

Ian and Hailey have started playing together . . . well, I guess it's more like Hailey crawls around following Ian wherever he goes.

I decided that in order for Hailey to get enough wear out of her pumpkin onesie, she better start wearing it now.

Here is a smile from our (most of the time) serious little girl. (You can't see it, but her first bottom tooth just came in.)
