Fall favorites

This beauty (a treat from one of my students) is not just a carmel apple, but a carmel, chocolate, cinnamon covered apple.   My very favorite treat.  It's downright sinful and oh so good.   I was just going to eat half of it, but ended up eating the whole thing in one sitting.  (I had some help from Jason, as he was the only kiddo home at the time--which was probably good timing on my part!  ;)

Last weekend, we went to Grandad's and Grandma's property and had a fun afternoon of 4 wheel riding and campfire cooking.

And the light was perfect.   I love the fall, with its golden light and beautiful colors.

 Happy, happy kids.  (safety disclaimer- we had helmets)

Sharing a blanket with Granddad.  Sarah loves her grandparents, especially her grandpas.  Even when we first came home from China, she would happily sit on grandpa's lap.  I think it might be because her sweet foster parents in China were older.  She remembers that first bond.  We're so grateful for that.   

 Evan goes for a ride.

The campfire.  Jason and Sarah (city slickers who have limited experiences with campfires) were frustrated when the smoke changed directions and got in their eyes.  

A fun day and a much needed break.
