Taking Advantage

With this beautiful weather we are having we are trying to take advantage of every bit of it! Sunday between conference we went to Kennesaw Mountain for a stroll that ended in a hike. Why does that always happen? 

 Pretty views of the city real tiny in the distance.

These girls are really starting to love hiking! 

 After seeing Reagan in her gold sparkling Tom's trying to hike in the dirt-I decided it was time for some tennis shoes of her own. I love them on her-blue and neon green are so much cuter than butterflies and sparkles. She loves them too.

The girls love running the hills by the lake and good thing cause there were no ducks or geese to feed. 

Her hair is getting so long! And her many faces kill me!

 Thursday we went soto "camping." Some friends of ours got a campsite but it was only available on school/work night. So we came made tin foil dinners, let the kids throw rocks, made S'mores and then came home when we were tired and had enough of the dirt and smoke. Perfect camping if you ask me.

 My kids are cute-fall here is heaven. The end.

Passport Rejects

We didn't use these but they were too cute to not share.

The Winner! 

All cropped and so stinkin cute. I think all babies should have their picture taken like this-it is so fun to see just their faces like this. Can't wait to have her own little book with this picture in it.

Kennesaw Mountain

I love my morning walks but I can get sick of doing the same routes every time. So we headed to Kennesaw Mountain which is only 10 min away. Camryn was so happy with her hiking clothes and insisted on wearing her new running shoes with white socks folded down.

 I was just happy she wanted to wear her new shoes and a ponytail-which is rare!

 She hiked and ran most the way with a few breaks in the stroller. She is so cute about wanted to exercise and get strong muscles. Let's just say hiking a hill with both kids in a stroller better give me strong muscles!

 One of many meadows with deer that we spotted. These were old battlefields. And a poser.

 The trail was so pretty and the weather was fantastic! Love that my girls are really enjoying the outdoors.

Finally was let out at the end and so happy about it. She wants to be big like Camryn so bad! And she can hike with the rest of em'-Reagan is so coordinated-in ways Camryn never was. We will be back and explore more of the trails of this beautiful Mountain.

Fall is Upon Us.

Views from my morning walk-such a pretty neighborhood. 

The girls favorite part is the "forest" or the nature walk-where I let them out of the stroller to explore for a bit. It was a good day for them since I let them stay in their jammies. 

Later that day I stopped at McDonald's for a drink.  Camryn had been complaining about being hungry- so I got her a hamburger. She hasn't experienced the drive thru many times and doesn't understand how you can actually get food from a person in a window. She was beside herself with excitement! Now I wonder what she would have thought if I got a Happy Meal. I love that this is such a novel thing. Now if only we can keep it that way. 

 

Then we did some fall leaf rubbings. Ryan had flattened some out previously and then we collected some more. We had fun doing them and just being outside when it wasn't blazing hot!

 

Camryn had been up late the night before and fell asleep in the car. Thankfully I saw her fall asleep because otherwise I would have thought she was dead. It was so creepy-she didn't move from this spot for over 45 min while the car was parked in the garage. I literally checked on her 5 times because it was freaking me out. Blue lips from a ring pop didn't help. 

Movie Night tradition has stuck. Which includes a walk to the gas station for a treat and then blankets and popcorn on the ground for a movie Camryn picks out. 

  I love this little daddy-daugther relationship so bad!

I finally have a child that wants to play in puddles! She was obsessed. After the rain it cleared up and was so nice so Camryn and I watched and took pictures while Reagan had a hay-day!

 Her face kills me!

 Then Camryn wanted in by on wheels of course and Reagan chased her on foot-pants off and all she was soaked! We probably need some rain clothes for this girl.

 She doesn't stop moving and is always carrying things way bigger than she is-so motivated. Cracks us up daily. I can't get enough of this weather!

Blue Ridge Apple Farm

The weather has officially cooled down and we are obsessed! So Saturday we headed to the mountains to go apple picking. It was about an hour and half away but it was worth it. Such a beautiful farm amazing apples and the biggest store full of goodies you've ever seen. 

$10 for a bag and you ride a tractor out to the orchards. Camryn was thrilled to say the least.

Reagan was not thrilled about the Ergo. Haven't quite figured out how babies like that thing. 

Super dad holding both kiddos.

One of the biggest ones-all the good ones were at the top and lucky she was all about be hoisted up.

Ryan got his workout but he loved seeing how excited she'd get. 

Love this picture of these twiners.

Happy to be out of the Ergo and picking up all the apples that had fallen. 

Some of my favorites- Braeburns

These Red Romes-were so red and pretty. So cool that this farm had so many varieties of apples. Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Cameos, Fuji, JonesGold, Pink Lady's (not in season) and the ones I already mentioned

Tired cuddly girls by the end and Camryn-freaked out from the yellow jackets all over the place.

I hope to get to do this again! Now onto many apple desserts!
