IT'S FALL!!

You can always tell it's Fall even it the weather is still warm. We plan our yearly trip to Apple Hill. We really wanted to take Samantha with us this year but she works every Saturday, darn!

The very first thing we wanted to ride the hay ride. We all patiently waited for the guide to come and take our money and THEN we would get on the ride. Not Grandma, she just got on and decided to wait in the wagon. There was a line behind us and no one got on with her, hmmm she is a rebel rouser!
CJ was not sure that REALLY old tractor that was pulling us was going to be safe!! It was so loud and the man driving it was probably as old as the tractor. It took us passed all the apple trees to the Christmas tree farm next door and then on thru the grape vines. It was a very fun ride!

You notice who the big kids are, Papa can always be persuaded to join CJ in the fun! There were so many people all around but we were able to have lots of fun! behind the picture there were ponies for the kids to ride.

Allie loves to take Grandma with us on all our outings, she is sure a Grandma's girl! We took our lunch and had a picnic at High Hill Ranch, while Grandma, CJ and I waited for everyone else to get the coolers from the car, CJ and I played a game of tag, now remember I sit at a desk everyday and I am not great at running, well I didn't think it was that bad, until I could hear the laughter of the people watching us. People I might add, we don't know, and they clapped when CJ won.
Katie goes to the tree every year and every year she hasn't grown!! CJ is gaining on her!!
I forgot to move this picture before I posted it!! Allie keeps getting taller, she is only a couple of inches shorter than Petra!!
Petra and CJ are making sure they keep track of how tall he is with everyone!!
Another picture I forgot to fix before I posted it, sorry!! We found a lady that did the greatest baloons! CJ wanted a sword and of course a sword holder!!
It's time to go home, yes, part of the adventure is to deal with the crowds coming and going!! We love it and go back every year.

Looks like a fun time you had being together. ok, but Carolyn honey, you gotta hand that camera over to somebody else and hop on in to those pictures.

Susette,
We thought about that at the end of the day, no one will ever know I was there. Petra did get a picture of Jeff and I but mostly she handed me her camera, with my camera in my hand also, all I did was take pictures, and think about next April and all the fun pages I could do!! Petra is supposed to be working on the rooms this week. YIPEE

We loved going to Apple Hill too! We went every year we lived there. I doubt that Wally or Rachel remember but I'll have to dig out some Apple Hill Pictures. We had the best apple pie in the world there. yummm

We sat and remembered about all our apple hill trips and the kids remembered "when Aunt Gayle and Uncle Randy lived here" trips. They have many of those memories and to this day are sad you guys moved. It is more crowded but just as fun and that crisp fall air is so fun!!
