Fall Trip

The kids really liked this corn maze just outside of Asheville, NC. They wanted to ride on the cow train, but predictably didn't want to sit anywhere near each other (Lucy is in front and Hannah is all the way in the back).

Eric and Lucy shoot a corn cannon.



The sun was really bright when we were picking apples, Hannah's eyes were closed in all the pics we took at the farm:


Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg, TN


We thought these tubes were cool.



The kids wouldn't leave the 'penguin playground' for almost an hour. They also wouldn't look at the camera at the same time for a picture.


We found a trail in Great Smoky Mountains National Park that was only 2.6 miles round trip, had something to see at the end (a waterfall), and best of all was paved, so we could take the stroller. It was a little crowded, but perfect for the kids. Right after taking this picture, we spotted a bear about 50 yds away. Then we were glad it was a crowded trail.


Another waterfall in the park, this one we could drive to. Cole just wanted to watch the cars driving by.


Cole, this time not watching cars.


Part of the Appalachian Trail. We decided against it hiking to Maine.

Apple picking...



This weekend we went to pick apples at Skytop Orchards in Flat Rock, NC where we have been going for a few years now. The kids have really changed since we first started going:
