Chiles Peach Orchard!

Every fall we go apple picking and we absolutely love it.  The mountains are so beautiful this time of year and the kids have a blast!  This year we decided to try something new.  Carter Mountain is usually so crowded so we went to a smaller version of Carter Mountain.  It was great!!  The peach trees were gorgeous and they even had a pumpkin patch!  And of course we had our apple donuts.  After we picked apples we headed to Pippin Hill Vineyard.  It was a beautiful winery and we just relaxed and had a glass of wine while watching the kids play on the hills.  It was a perfect fall day with our family!

Tom and Vera's Wedding!

This past weekend we went up to NJ/NY for Tom and Vera's wedding!  We stayed in North Bergen NJ, a town that overlooks the New York City's skyline.  One word for the weekend...amazing!  We had such an awesome time at the welcome dinner, wedding, and brunch.  It was nice to visit with the McGuire's who we love to hang out with!  Before the wedding, Sam, my dad, and I went into NYC. We had a fabulous time walking around and enjoying the sights.  Sam and I had a kid free weekend!  Auntie Lindz and her boyfriend Tony kept them Saturday.  And Grammy and Papa kept them Sunday/Monday.  We missed them very much but it was nice to have a weekend to ourselves!  I would love to take the kids to NY one day.  I know they would love it.  Congrats to Tom and Vera...what an incredible wedding weekend!

Kelly celebrated her 37th birthday on Monday!

Touch a Truck!

What a busy few weeks we have had!  A couple of weekends we headed out to the raceway for Touch a Truck!  There were so many different kind of trucks and our kids were loving it!!  They got to see in dump trucks, excavators, ambulances, big rigs, etc.   You name it, they touched or sat it in!  It was a perfect fall day and we loved our little outing together.

Cora's favorite..the ambulance!
