Mountain Day Trip

This past weekend, Kevin, Madalyn, and I went to see my parents.  On Saturday, we drove up to Sky Top Orchard to pick some apples and have a fun day in the mountains.  Then we drove over to Chimney Rock before heading home.  It was beautiful weather; the sun was shinning, it wasn't too windy or too cold.  We had a nice day.

 First stop: The Sheep

It was a long hilly way to pick apples.

We had orders from Kevin's grandma, Mrs. Kitty, to bring back some Rome apples.  Well...we had to walk to Rome to get these apples it seemed like.

Madalyn learned a new word: apple

Look in the tree...is it a bird?...no, it's Grand Dad!

We had so many apples, Madalyn gladly gave up her stroller to share with the apples.  Everyone who passed us thought that was a very creative idea to use the stroller.

After apple picking...it was off to 

the Pumpkin Patch!

Over the river and through the woods it's to Chimney Rock we go!

Madalyn and my Mom stayed at the bottom of the mountain.

A look back...

This was Madalyn at the pumpkin patch last year at Grand Dad's Orchard. (7 months old)

This is Madalyn this year at Sky Top Orchard (19 months) A huge difference! I mean I don't even know the baby in the first picture, do you? 

Here's another picture from last year. Boy, she sure has grown up! Her looks sure have changed too. She has grown out of her "daddy" look a like stage I do believe, sorry Kevin!

This is the 3 of us this year at Sky Top Orchard.
