Bert's parents came up in early September and we really enjoyed our visit with them. Linda's birthday is September 6th so we were able to celebrate that while they were here too!
They got here on Thursday afternoon just in time for Hannah's FIRST ever soccer game. Hannah was so excited that they were there to cheer her on. (Soccer pictures will be in the soccer post.)
Within 10 seconds of Grandmama getting to our house, every single time, the girls have told her about what they need her to sew while she's here. Ha! On Thursday night Grandmama helped fix Minnie's ear and the girls took close notes.
Friday afternoon, after we picked Emily and Hannah up from school we headed up to Sky Top Orchard to pick some apples! We started off our visit with Apple Cider Donuts. Yum!
I always make the girls pose in front of the "How Tall This Fall" board at Sky Top, except I cut off that part of the board in my picture.
Abs had a good ride as we walked into the orchard.
These pictures are a little (lot) on the dark side, but the background was so beautiful we thought it would be a good spot for a picture. Oh well!
Abby insisted on carrying the bucket.
Hannah was our number one apple picker. She was determined to find good ones and got so excited when she did.
Daddy held Claire up to get one way up high.
This little 18 month old (then) is a hot mess! I love her!
Emily was a little nervous being up this high.
We actually had trouble finding many good apples this trip. We ended up getting enough, but thought maybe we came a little early in the season. Who knows?
After we picked apples we fed the animals in their small petting zoo.
Playing on the playground is always a highlight!
After we got back home Grandmama read to Abby while we got dinner ready!
We ate a yummy dinner outside (it was so beautiful that night) and then had birthday brownies and ice cream for Grandmama!
On Saturday morning they went to Emily's first ever soccer game and then headed back to Jackson. We so loved having them here to spend a couple days with us! Thanks for making the trip up, Grandmama and Pawpaw!
