Apple picking with the Crockett's

 I LOVE FALL!

 One of my favorite things to do in the fall is to go apple picking (and corn mazes).

 We were able to go to the orchard with Ryan's parents and Rich and Emily.

 The kids loved it.  Vaden loves anything to do with food, so she was happy.

 She is getting so big and is starting to walk a bit even, but we still need to carry her most of the time.

 And we thought the buckets were for carrying apples!

 Everyone enjoying the outdoors.

 One of her favorite faces to make:)

 Asher loves being outside and was having a great time with so much family around and a fun activity to do.

 Of course, I get a good workout keeping up with the kids.

 Grandma and Asher finding apples.

 Asher wanted to pick the high apples!

 Vaden joined in the shoulder rides too.

 Walking with Grandma.

 They had apples that were already picked, but we wanted to pick our own.

 Rich was able to get Asher even higher!

 Vaden and Daddy.

 Such cute kids and such handsome brothers;)

 The kids sure love their grandma (and grandpa).

My favorite way to pick apples and my favorite photo!  

We love having visitors and we love the fall.

Williamsburg and Maggie

 A few weeks ago we went to Williamsburg and visited Richard and Emily.  They have a new addition...

 Their dog Maggie!

What is so great about about Maggie is that Asher isn't afraid of her!  He is usually scared o all animals and won't get near them.

 He had a great time with Maggie.

 Vaden was so sure about being by the dog-

 Then she decided she didn't like it:)

 They were all the right size to play with each other and Maggie put up with a lot from the kids.

We also went bowling.

 It was the first time we took the kids bowling.

 Asher loved it and would have kept bowling all day if we let him.

 Vaden enjoyed being a part of the team too:)

Virginia Beach was our next stop.

 Ready for a good time!

 Vaden was okay in the water as long as she could have a death grip on us!

 Asher tried getting in once, but then he wouldn't get in again.

 Ryan and Richard went boogie boarding on the waves.

 The kids did love playing in the sand and on the beach chairs.

 Playing with Aunt Emily.

 Asher looking cool.

We had a great time visiting Richard and Emily, thanks!
