Sky Top 2016

Today we headed up to Flat Rock to pick apples at Sky Top Orchards.  We got there around 10, and it was already crowded. We finally found a good tree and a wagon. Jackson climbed that apple tree like a pro. I was so proud of him. He has really turned into a risk-taker since starting kindergarten. Brooks loved running around and putting the apples in the baskets. Walker liked looking around.

We enjoyed the tractor ride. Brooks stood in line with me to get apple cider donuts and apple cider slushies.

We enjoyed lunch in Greenville before the big boys spent the afternoon with Noni. Then we enjoyed yummy lasagna.

Brent's Birthday

We celebrated Brent's birthday Wednesday night at Your Pie. The boys love that place. They love playing with the dough and the gelato.

We celebrated again on Sunday night with lasagna and cake. Walker was excited about his first lasagna. He looks so much like Jackson in his picture with his first lasagna. Poor Brooksie. I don't think he has a picture with his first lasagna.

The boys tried on some Halloween costumes after dinner. It was hilarious!

Reed's Birthday

We took a quick dat trip to Charleston along with Noni and Papa Jerry for Reed's birthday party. We left early and ate lunch at Red's in Mt. Pleasant. The weather was perfect so we ate outside. A tropical storm came through yesterday, so it really cooled things down. The boys were really good at lunch and loved watching all of the boats.

We stopped by Hollipops to look at the toys. Jackson loves Playmobil, so he loved all of their stuff there.

Downtown was busy, but we did walk down at White Point Gardens. There was lots of debris leftover from the storm. We did manage a few pictures that really captured the boys' personalities.

We had a great time at the party visiting with family. The boys had a blast playing with Brynlee and Reed. I wish they got to play with each other more.

We headed home and had to stop at a big truck stop to burp Walker. The big boys loved it. We listened to the beginning of the Clemson-Auburn game.  Walker and I dozed through the rest of the game once we got home. We were excited about our first win.

Wrapping Up Summer

We have been swimming every chance we get this summer.  The boys love swimming with Parker at his other grandparents' house.  Jackson has come so far with his swimming. He swims underwater and jumps off the diving board.  I am so proud of him.

Brooks has tried to get in with out his Puddle Jumper, and it always ends in disaster.  The shallow end is above his head, and he always panics.  He has spent most of his time in a float or on the steps. (He will still slide down the slide from the top though.)

Clemson Fan Day 2016

The boys had a great time at Fan Day!  It was very crowded- a lot more people than usual.some got there at 5:30 am to get Watson's autograph. There were some storms that came through along with lightning warnings, and people still stood out there.

The lines were really long. The boys got some offensive players, got special teams, and got defensive backs.  The kicker and punter even held Walker for a picture.  Brooks decided to get his Koozieo signed which the players thought was hilarious. He was so proud of that Koozie. He was jumping and yelling. 

All of the players were very polite and nice to the boys. The boys had a great time! Go Tigers!

We enjoyed pizza and some cookie cake for my birthday.
