Happy Fall Y'all!

Today me and the kiddos went apple picking with my dad and mom. We had such a good time. GiGi and Christian enjoyed the wagon ride and GiGi LOVED being NaNa's helper in the apple orchard. Just watching her was SO sweet. You could tell that she was looking for the very best apple and trying to really do a good job to help NaNa. FINALLY, she found the RIGHT apple...she found this HUGE red apple and she ate on it till she couldn't eat it anymore. 

While I picked some apples, I sat Christian in the grass and he was looking around and trying to grab apples. I saw a lady looking and pointing at him and I look over and...he's eating grass. WHAT A HOOT!

GiGi got to pick out a pumpkin. NaNa wanted her to have a big one but GiGi kept going for a little one so...OF COURSE she got both. She was SO thrilled to be getting those pumpkins.

It's just always amazing to me, wherever I go, to look around and see God's creation. ALL those apple trees and to think they all came from a seed. The weather was GORGEOUS too. It just kills me when people say there's no God and yet they see His handy-work EVERYDAY, all around them! God is SO good!

After we left the orchard, we went to a restaurant called the Fin Inn. Every table has a fish tank at it and GiGi was AMAZED at the fish. She kept telling Christian, "These fish are nice AND they're just pretend". LOL! 

It was just a WONDERFUL day all around. I always enjoy spending time with my parents. They are just the best parents ever. What AWESOME examples they have always been to our family. Mom and I, on the wagon ride back, saw 2 things that reminded us of Grandma Angie. The driver stopped at the pumpkin patch and we picked up these two ladies and two children and the older lady REALLY resembled my dear Grandma. Then we saw this big bunch of gords...my Grandma used to grow them and that's a memory I have of her old house. She always had gords hanging around and some were even made into bird houses. Oh yeah...there was one more thing....when we were eating lunch mom said that she had brought Grandma to the Fin Inn one time and they ordered a bloomin' onion b/c Grandma had NEVER heard of one. Mom said Grandma was so cute eating it and she wanted to take the rest home. SWEET MEMORIES! It made me think...things are just that...THINGS! but memories are FOREVER! I want to always hold on to the memories I have made and continue to make in my life!
