Pumpkin Patch and Apple Orchard

Last weekend we planned a full adventure filled day with Mimi and PopPop! We started at the pumpkin patch with the BIGGEST pumpkins I have ever seen! The kids loved it; Carter especially enjoyed climbing on them! It was freezing out but fun was had by all!

Looks like a nice resting spot!

After the pumpkin patch we headed just a little farther down the road for lunch followed by the apple orchard. We waited a little late in the year to go so there weren't as many apples to pick as last year but still fun! Campbell especially loved throwing the apples! I have been making lots of apple bread!

Campbell likes apples!

Sea World Part 1

Last week we enjoyed Sea World with Brandon's mom, uncle and brother! It was HOT, 94 temp with 105 heat index, I did think a few times I would melt! Everyone had a good time and Carter's favorite was Shamu, that's all he talked about!

Campbell's favorite, Uncle Grant

Carter's explanation of touching the sting-ray, "It was mushy like pillows!" Pretty accurate, I would say!

Water Park

As many know the Atlanta area has been flooded! At our house in a matter of a week we got 20 inches of rain, with 1 day alone totaling 6 inches! Many roads are still flooded but school is suppose to start back tomorrow! Today we ventured out to a local park to find half of it under water! It is amazing what water can do!

Poor misplaced little fish!

Care to picnic here?

We're still smiling though! Jacob, Carter and Campbell

Dentist and Elmo

Campbell and Carter had dentist appointments this week. It was Campbell's 1st and she did great! Campbell knows how to throw really good fits so I was unsure as to how she would do! Both kids did great!

On Thursday night I took Carter to see Sesame Street Live with a friend and her son. Carter loved it and had so much fun. He was laughing out loud which was so fun to watch! Carter keeps asking me if we are going to go back to Elmo today! We munched on popcorn and had a great evening on our mommy/son date! Brandon and Campbell played at home!

$15.00

I happened upon a garage sale the other day, I wasn't looking for anything really, just wasting time . . . the only thing impressive I found was this barely used bike trailer for . . . $20, but I got it for $15!!!!!!! I was really shocked and almost felt bad for paying them so little. I have wanted one of these for the longest time and I wasn't about to pay over $100 retail for this. The owner even put it on his bike to show me how it worked and he practically had to take it apart to get it in my car! It has a 3rd wheel and a handle bar if I want to use it as a double stroller too - we took it off for the bike. I was almost giddy driving home with it! I showed it to Carter first and he loved it, we hooked it up to my bike and he got in right away for me to take him for a spin. Campbell joined in the ride today and I must say, I need to work out! After pulling about 60 lbs. in this trailer I was done! It was fun though and hopefully will motivate me to get back to riding; at least once a week!
