Apple Picking

 

We went to Baugher's Farm to do our annual apple picking. Laura was hoping to make apple sauce and apple desserts just like in years past. This time, we were really disappointed in the amount and type of apples that were available for picking. We were only able to pick a small bag of apples, which we just ate. Though it was fun to go out for the day, we may have to go apple picking at a different farm next year.

Pumpkin Picking

While we were visiting with Mimi and Popi in PA, they decided to take the kids pumpkin picking. Luke loved carrying his pumpkin around the farm with him and Caitlynn wanted to get the biggest one she saw! We are happy to say we brought home 4 "kid sized" pumpkins this year!

OBX 2013

We just returned from a wonderful vacation to Outer Banks, NC. This year, we were able to go during the week of Labor Day due to Laura's part-time schedule. We stayed in Nags Head and got a house with friends from Ryan's work. The house was very close to the beach (about 100 yards) and had a pool and hot tub. There was little to no traffic which made the drive that much easier this year. The weather was perfect and we were able to go to the beach and swim in the pool almost every day. Ryan's Aunt Debbie has a house on the sound of Collington and we were able to visit with her for a day. It was nice to catch up with her as we haven't seen her in about a year! It was a great trip and we are already thinking about our next trip down in either late May or early September next year!
