Wow - September is over. Each year, it seems that the months fly by more quickly. Christmas will be here in less than 100 days. September was a busy, but fun month. Here's the highlights:
On Labor Day, the McAlister family came over and we had a cook out - except that we were mostly stuck IN, due to rain from a hurricane. The guys were troopers and grilled in the rain hoovering under the patio table umbrella. However, they still got soaked. Those burgers and hot dogs sure tasted good, though. Homemade ice cream (peanut butter and vanilla w/ toppings) topped the meal off with a hit. After rain subsided, Logan insisted on swimming. He had looked forward to it for quite sometime and didn't want to be let down. So he took a quick dip.
And isn't Riley too cute - see his sweet dimples. :)
The next weekend was the Apple Festival in our little town. Years ago, on one of the highways going out of town, there was numerous apple orchards. This was the 50th Apple Festival celebration - with booths, rides, concerts, rodeos, parades, and other events, etc. On Friday, Leigh and her girls came over and we walked downtown to watch the parade.
Cheesing! As you see Aubrey could smile, but she couldn't take her eyes off of the action. :) We were a little disappointed that we didn't get much candy - we were at the beginning, so the parade participants must have been anticipating running out of candy - so then went skimpy on us.
The third weekend, South Carolina was graced with the presence of the Dottry Family. Carmin and Libby moved to Kentucky several years ago. We haven't seen them in over 3 years. And we were so excited to get together with them for lunch at the Woods' place.
The kiddos formed a band. I absolutely LOVE this picture. It cracks me up every time I look at it. This was not staged. They were all singing - all a different song - and seriously playing those guitars like mad. It was great!
And the last weekend, our church hosted a Youth Day for children and teenagers with outdoor games, crafts, devotions, food, and lots of fun! This 'human ball' was a hit!
And now time marches on into OCTOBER!
