Apples, apples, and more apples!!

This weekend, we made our annual Labor Day trip to Hendersonville, NC to see Cory's mom and to go to the Apple Festival. We were really excited about taking Luke to the apple festival! He really loved it! Luke even skipped a nap (which he never does) because he was too busy looking at all the people and excitement! If you love apples, this is seriously the place for you! They have every kind of apple treat you can think of!!

Posing with a huge apple they had downtown. Local artists decorated the apples, and they were spread throughout downtown Hendersonville.

Luke had his sippy cup full of water and he was ready for the festival!

Do you see how Luke likes to prop his legs up on the stroller? It's really the funniest thing, and everyone that saw him had to make a comment about comfortable he looked in there! Silly boy!

Check out that huge caramal apple!!

Lovin the apple festival! When Luke wasn't chilled out in his stroller, he was sitting straight up like this so he could really see everything!

On Sunday we took Luke to the Pisgah Forest. Cory had taken me there years ago, but I was excited about going back and taking Luke! We found a little park to have a picnic lunch.


The best part of Pisgah Forest--Looking Glass Falls!!

Cory and Luke hiking down ALL the steps to get to the bottom of the falls.

Luke really loved looking at the waterfall and all the trees! We could tell that he was just trying to take it all in!


I love this picture of Luke with the waterfalls in the background. This was at the bottom of the falls--there were a lot of people swimming, and it looked SO cold!!

Cory's mom has this cute little neighborhood park right across the street from her house. We took Luke there to enjoy the beautiful mountain weather!
And he's wearing his first big boy fall outfit! I couldn't resist! I had the perfect shirt for the occasion, and he's also wearing his first pair of jeans!

Happy Luke!!




We had a great time in Hendersonville! Thanks Nannan!

Looks like fun! Michael's grandmother lives in Brevard, NC which is close to Hendersonville...we've been to Looking Glass Falls many times. Never heard of the Apple Festival though - we'll have to check that out next year!

So fun!!! I love apples and all things fall. I bet I would love it.

I love his outfit! Did you make it? If so, I want one just like it. Scratch my #3 shirt and do that! :)

Call me about Saturday! :)
