The Orchard at Altapass

Today we headed west and went to the Orchard at Altapass in Little Switzerland, NC. We went last year and I couldn't wait to go back! It is such a beautiful and special place. If you want character, this is the place! A great photo op. Glorious views! We enjoyed cloggers, a hayride, the Hit or Miss Band, and a walk in the orchard. Fletcher enjoyed climbing trees and collecting sticks. There were no apples to pick this year because their crop was destroyed by a late frost that killed all the apple blossoms. Between the 3 of us we ate a fried apple pie (Jo), and apple (Fletcher), ice cream (Ed and Fletcher), and homemade fudge (Jo and Ed). Yum! They also have crafts and everything you can thing of made from apples! Such fun!

Thomas and Bob!

Today, Fletcher, Ed, and I went to the NC Transportation Museum in Spenser, NC for Day Out With Thomas. We saw a fire truck, took a train ride, saw a Bob the Builder show, took a look a old cars and trains, enjoyed climbing and bouncing in the bouncers, got a Dizzy tattoo, and much more. The weather was nice (not too hot) and we all had a good time!

Bathtub Fun

Fletcher and Ed had a great time at bath time the other night. Ed told the story of the shark and the ducky (similar to the tortoise and the hare.) Fletcher enjoyed "shaving" Daddy and I got some giggles watching Fletcher shave Daddy. Then we made some "pictures" with Fletcher's hair: that's what he calls it when we sculpt shapes from shampoo and hair!

Boys and Trucks

Cam, Fletcher, and I got a treat on Wednesday. When we arrived home from school we found road paving machines in our neighborhood, on our road. The boys got an up close look at a bulldozer, a road roller, and a paving machine. A dream come true!

Another Party

We had another birthday party last week. Happy Birthday to Carley! We enjoyed pizza, cake, and play with friends at the Sandlot.

Old Family Photos

I mentioned in a previous post that I had gotten some old family photos from my grandmother's house. Well you all know how obsessed I am with pictures and I am so enjoying going through the old pictures, scanning them, and choosing which ones I want to print one day. I picture a wall in a new house covered with old family pictures! So cool. Here are a few of my favorites so far. Top to bottom: my mom as a little girl, my grandmother as a young woman, my mom's father at age 3, and him with his grandmother.
