Oh So Graceful...

Well, it was just before 8pm and I decided to hit the road for a quick run, I thought I could get a few miles in before it got dark.  It was getting a bit dark a little quicker than I expected, so I decided to head back home.  I was probably only about a couple hundred yards away from home, when all of a sudden the sidewalk moved (I swear it had to have jumped up right in front me!), I tripped fell!  Apparently, I tried to catch myself, which didn't work!  I kept moving forward, landed on my hands, then my knees, and I guess tried to catch myself because I ended up doing a summersault, which resulted in landing on my elbow.  What a sight!  I am glad I gave the kids driving by a show & something to laugh about.  Not sure it was worth all the bruises, scraped hands, knees, and elbow.  Gotta love my awesome skills.  At least I am laughing about it...

I need my own 'boo bunny'.  Do they make one for silly uncoordinated people like me?!?

Apple Picking!

Family picture while apple picking. The boys were entertaining each other. Go figure!

Connor & Nana picking apples.

Dylan holding his apple. He enjoyed the apple orchard.

Dylan picked an apple and the leaves came with it-he had fun playing with the leaves.

Connor & Daddy picking apples way up high in the tree.

Connor eating an apple in one hand & picking with the other. That is the way to do it!

Yummy apple!

Dylan was eating an apple too. YUM!

Connor enjoyed his treat from Nana-a cherry honey stick.

Dylan got tired from picking all those apples!

Dylan enjoyed his fresh applesauce for dinner!

And we all enjoyed our delicious (dinosaur) apple pie!

Once the leaves start turning & the apples are ready for picking, I fully embrace FALL! I love soups for dinner and the nice weather. We had lots of fun picking apples. Unfortunately, I think it will be our last time for a long time, unless we find an orchard in Texas, but I don't think apples grow in Texas. At least we made it to pick apples one last time. Happy Fall!
