Apple Hill



The weekend before last we decided to go up to a place called Apple Hill that we had been told about. It's right past Placerville, CA, about 45 minutes from where we live. It's a large area with several different u-pick apple farms, prepared apple foods for purchase, kids activities, etc. We had a very relaxing time and Gray really enjoyed it. He loves the cartoon "Caillou" and on one of the episodes, he goes apple picking. Gray always says he wants to go apple pickin' :) Here are a few pictures from our day.

Boo!

Did I scare you? hahaha. I bet no one was expecting a blog post from me! I don't know what happened. I was so excited about my new blog and intended to write something every day, but I guess the new wore off. Well, I guess it started with having family here to visit for two weeks, and then after that, no excuses...just didn't get back into it. But anyway, here I am. So, let me just talk about the main things that have happened since the last time I blogged. Like I said before, my husband's mom, my "Mom-in-love" came to see us at the end of July. We had such a wonderful time with her being here. She spoiled all of us. If you know her, you will understand what I mean when I say that if you don't love this woman, something is wrong with you. She is truly the best mother-in-law anyone could ever ask for. I am so blessed. We did so many fun things while she was here. We went to the state fair, ate, went to the Folsom Zoo, ate some more. You get the drift!




Then my parents came for a second visit of the summer! They were here along with my mother-in-law for a couple of days. It was really cool having all of them here for a church service and my birthday.



A couple of weeks later, there was a knock at my door. It was a package that I assumed was a new carseat cover for Gray because I put his in the washing machine and it ripped. But when I opened the box, it was a NEW CAMERA. At first I was confused because I had been looking at this particular camera for several months and hoped I hadn't accidently purchased it somehow. Then, I remembered my dad asking me about it and tears of joy filled my eyes! It has been a dream of mine for a couple of years to get into photography. Here are a few of my favorite shots so far.
