Buddy Walk

It was a beautiful day for the Buddy Walk this year.  In the past, there always seemed to be a warming trend right around the same weekend, but not this year.  We had our Emma's Ambassadors shirts on and our new sign all ready to go.  The kids had a ton of fun!  I didn't take a lot of pictures because a friend, who is a professional photographer, took pics with his camera.  When I get those, I'll post them on here.  The girlie says thank you to all who donated or participated in the walk with us!

First face painting.  She did extremely well!

With SpongeBob.  Which is funny because she's never watched the show before.

 Thanks again to all who made this day great!

Apple Picking

Ready to pick some apples!

Emma tried to feed the sheep grass, but it was more interested in the feed that you could buy for them to eat.

We were able to go with the Bumgarner family to Sky Top Orchard for our annual apple picking.  The girlie did so well and had such a good time.  We had a picnic lunch at church after the service then took off for the mountains.  After we were finished apple picking, we headed home with a quick stop at Cracker Barrel for dinner.  What a fun day!

Labor Day Parade

I am so behind.  It doesn't help that we've been having Internet trouble for over a month now.
For Labor day weekend, we went to the town of Matthews for their parade.  We didn't go to the festival because it was quite warm, and the girlie was worn out.  She seemed to have enjoyed it more this year than last.  She didn't cover her face the entire time.  Only occasionally would she cover her ears.

It can't be a coincidence that Larry Sprinkle is a weather man.

Forget the politician, Mommy likes the car!

Dear Papa and Papaw - Emma said that she wanted this for Christmas.

The band is playing too loud.

It's never a real parade unless there's Shriners.
