Apple Festival 2010

To celebrate the Labor Day holiday this year, we decided to take an adventure to North Carolina to the Hendersonville Apple Festival.  We were glad that we could convince Grammy to take a break from cooking the traditional Sunday lunch to join us!  Of course Z couldn't turn down a chance to spend the day with Carson and Ella either.  The weather was beautiful even though we may have overdressed just a little.  The apple cider, apple ice cream, and apple pie were delicious!!  The only bad part of our trip was that I discovered that I am WAY too old for rides now.  I almost got SICK on the strawberry ride with Ella.  I am super excited fall is just around the corner.  Today's adventures in Hendersonville is just the beginning of the festivals to come!

A Newly Found Neighbor! :)

Carson was so excited when he found out Sam was going to be in his class this year! We also discovered after the first few days that Sam lives in the neighborhood right beside us.  After talking on the phone several times this week with Sam, Sam's mom and I set up a time for the boys to play.  Carson went home with Sam from school on Friday.  Then Sam came over to play with Carson on Saturday.  The boys enjoyed a couple games of football between the rain showers.  Carson then went home with Sam for a cookout on Saturday night.  We are so thankful for the special friendship Sam and Carson share.  I can't believe Car is already talking on the phone and having so many "playdates"!  Where has the time gone?!?
