Fall is absolutely my favorite season...
always has been, probably always will be!
There's just something about the changing of seasons,
the brilliant colors that fill the trees, and the refreshing crisp air.
Not to mention candy corn, caramel apples, pumpkin patches,
and football!
Last weekend, we traveled to King, NC to visit my
Aunt Amanda and Uncle Wayne. The weather was gorgeous!
Sam really enjoyed rolling in the grass and playing with the leaves that have already fallen to the ground. He liked the leaves so much that he even tried to eat them. I guess that's the stage he's in--everything goes straight to his mouth.
On Saturday, Uncle Wayne and Aunt Amanda took us on a tour of Mt. Airy where Andy Griffith is from. We even joined in on the Autumn Leaves Festival that was going on downtown.
Of course, no matter where we go, Scott somehow always finds a local bakery... He has a sweet tooth for homemade treats. This time, he bought a cinnamon roll the size of my head!
(Ok, so I'm exaggerating a little bit.)
Sam had so much fun hanging out
with Uncle Wayne and Aunt Amanda.
(Thanks again for being so hospitable during your birthday weekend.)
God's creation is amazingly beautiful!
On Sunday, the three of us took off for Hanging Rock State Park and went on our first family hike! Sam loves to be outside (he gets that from his mommy and daddy), so he didn't seem to mind the bumpy ride up the mountain. He was taking in all the sights and sounds along the way, even talking back to the birds. Scott and I have always enjoyed hiking, so this was a nice treat for us too. We had to take advantage of being close to the mountains!
The long trek up the mountain wore Sam out...
He decided to take a nap on the way back down.
