It's Fall Y'all

This past week, we had some super fall fun (sorry for the cheesy intro- it is just the elementary school teacher in me).  We just visited Denver Downs this weekend for the first time with our Sunday school class and had a blast.  It will definitely be added to one of our fall family traditions.  I also went with Jackson's preschool to Calaham Orchards.  Last night, the boys and I carved a jack-o-lantern and toasted pumpkin seeds.  The older I get the more I enjoy this time of year.  The leaves crackling, playing outside, and seeing all of the fun decorations makes me so excited for Halloween and Thanksgiving.  The beauty of the leaves is just a reminder of how beautiful God's creation is.

Grammy and Gigi Visit

Brian had to travel this month for work, so we had an extra special visit from Grammy and Gigi.  They flew down south on an "airpwane" as Jackson calls them.  The boys were treated to a fun visit to the Children's Museum and we all visited Sky Top Orchard together.  If you haven't been to Sky Top, I definitely recommend it.  There is so much fun for all ages.  Our family loved the apple donuts and we tasted Asian pears for the first time!

Pigeon Forge

I am very behind in my postings.  We had a great time in Pigeon Forge when we vacationed there last month.  The boys loved Dollywood, maybe as much as me.  Going to Dollywood made me feel like I was ten years old again.  I had such a blast!  We also got to hike and sight see around the beautiful Smoky Mountains.  Jackson loved looking at the all of the classic cars since it was classic car week.  Below are some my favorite pics of the family.

Taking a snack break, anyone who know Jack knows we can't go far without food!
