Here is view as we were going through the lake. Very pretty time of the year!

This is one of the views from the boat at the dock. I really like the fall colors!

Kaitlyn is on the head of the boat. The boat is still on the slip.

Here are some ducks that the girls wanted me to take picture of. They followed us as we walked up the dock.

On Dad's Boat

We went to my dad's house to visit Oct 14th and stayed a week. Overall it was a good week. Emily had a fever the night we arrived and end up getting sick the next day. Thank goodness it was just a 24 hour thing. She and I did miss going to the Barter Theatre and seeing Beaty and the Beast. My stepmother said she was mesmerized by it. Kaitlyn was also mesmerized. We did school on Thursday, Friday and Monday. It was a little harder since Emily was a little more distracted than she usually is. We walked to Macadoo's to eat on Saturday with my step sister Becky and then came home and played games. The weather was very nice overall but I did a horrible job of packing. Especially for Kaitlyn. I packed no short sleeves for either of the girls so Nana bought each of them a couple of short sleeve shirts. At least that was some relief for them on the warmer days. Poor Kaitlyn had no jeans, hardly any pants. I have never been so unorganized with packing. Hopefully when we go to Disney in a couple of weeks I will do a little better!! Overall it was a nice trip but we were so glad to come home and get back into our regular routine. Plus, we were looking forward to seeing Joel again.

Golden Delicious Apples down the row! The other picture is taken at the top of the mountain and you can see the skyline. The weather was wonderful that day.

Carter's Mountain Apple Orchard

Joel, Kaitlyn, Nicole and Emily

On Saturday, we went to Carter's Mountain to pick apples. The flyer said it would be a festival weekend. When I think of a festival I think of a lot of vendors selling food and crafts. This was nothing like it. There was a total of about 7 vendors and only one of them offered food. The farm itself had somethings to eat but it was more like apple cider donunts, yummy apple carmel cookies(they were out of this world, I am trying to find a recipe on the internet still like these), choco. chip cookies and apple pie. They also had some really good apple cidar. The main thing you did there was pick apples. Everyone except Joel had never picked apples. I had a great time. It was so neat to see row after row of apples. The apples they had to pick on Saturday were red and golden delicious, stayman, granny smith and jonagold. We picked about 30lbs of apples, mostly the jonagold. The price was a good one, $.99/lb. We invited the Plummers and had a picnic lunch in the parking lot of the farm. We all had a good time. We took home some apples, cookies and apple cider!
