sailboats

After our apple picking excursion, we visited a nearby park/nature preserve type place. We were admiring the cutest sailboat (pictured above) then this gentlemen showed up and took it out for a ride.  We snacked, chatted, and the kids walked along the dock and played with sticks in the water. It  was nice....
Our friends, the Goods, they are very cool! We like them...a lot!
This is Ellie, she is very cute!!! She is the Goods' youngest child! She kind of reminds me of Sal, from Blueberries for Sal. Very sweet!!! <3
Hazel and her friend Benjamin!
Have a beautiful weekend!!
Enjoy some sunshine and spend time with those you love!!
Love
Mon (of the Montgomerys) :)

Apple Pickin'

We smacked two quintessentially Fall activities into two days...getting our pumpkin, and picking apples!!! It was a fun filled (warm, as I previously mentioned) couple of days doing Fall-ish activities. This year, we had the pleasure of apple picking with friends from church....so fun!!
Now to figure out what to do with all these apples! So far we have apple butter made, and a pie...still so many apples left. We'll see what we come up with!!!
Love,
The Montgomerys :)

the perfect pumpkin.

Each year we set out to the pumpkin patch to pick out our perfect pumpkin. We have a local patch that we've been going to since we've lived in this area and we love it!! This year, we took a hay ride to the patch and managed to find our pumpkin! We picked out three little bitty ones too, one for each kid. We've been a bit deprived as far as family time goes, so soaking in the precious moments together was lovely. It was a bit too warm for my liking, at nearly 85 degrees (in OCTOBER....hmmffff), but it was HOT lovely nonetheless! 
The bumpy hay ride must have lulled little man to sleep!
A few shots of our precious "middle" kid.

Pumpkin thuggin'.
A family shot.

We hope you all find that perfect pumpkin as well!!
Happy Fall
