Boosterthon 2016

 Our boys fundraiser for their elementary school is so much fun.  They get pledges and then go and run.  There is music and the people who run it are awesome.  This is Hunter's last year doing it.  I love to see the fun signs that they all make and then they run through them.

 These kids are super into it.  They take it very seriously.

 Hunter was such a cutie and smiled at me every time he saw me taking a picture of him.  I sure love this sweet boy.

 They get a mark for every lap they run.

 All finished!

 Hunter has a really great teacher this year.  Her name is Ms. Molter and I think Hunter really likes her.

 All ready to do the Boosterthon!

 I didn't really get a picture of their poster...

 McKay didn't see me through the whole thing.  He was pretty focused.

 He was sprinting pretty much the whole time.  I am amazed at that kids' energy!

 Giving parents five.

 This si the back of their shirts that get marked off as they run.

Feeling good!  These boys did so great!

Apple Picking in Blueridge

 Thanks to soccer and basketball every Saturday, we have had no time to go and pick apples yet.  This was something I was so excited to do when we moved to Georgia since it is such a big thing here.  In Utah they don't let you pick your own.  It's a huge event in Georgia, which I love!  We brought Lincoln's friend Ryan along with us. 

 The tractor ride up to the orchard is always a highlight.  It's such a beautiful orchard.  They have hundreds of acres.

 Oh how I love autumn!!

 We went a little late in the season and sadly, lots of the apples had already been picked.  It was quite a treasure hunt to find any (that we liked anyway).

 The best part of apple picking is that you can eat as many as you want!

 This cool dude found some of my old sunglasses and was pretty thrilled with what he looked like.  The apple he is eating looked like a peach with dark red skin and yellow center.  We saw an apple called an Arkansas black, maybe that's what this one was. 

 Playing in the orchard was pretty great for these boys.

 We found some tiny granny smith apples.  McKay was determined to find some "spicy" apples.  I think he meant tart ones. 

 We had to be creative in how to get the apples since most of the ones on our level had been picked.

 McKay found a tree with HUGE apples and they were pretty yummy.  I think they will be great for pie!

Our favorite kind of apple was called a "candy crisp" and we found quite a few of them.  We also bought a whole bunch of topaz which were yummy.  It was the perfect day for October 1st!
