Carter's Mountain Orchard

We went to Carter's Mountain for the first time today.

The views were amazing!

Not sure what kind of smile she is giving??

Jonathan trying to walk up the hill

Running around after our picnic lunch

"Come back to the blanket please"

He kept carrying this bag of trash around...

...and trying to give it to other people.

Laying on Daddy's back...  taking a rest after a long morning of apple picking.  So sweet!  =)

Brushing Teeth

Excited about brushing his teeth for the first time! 

Using his new Winnie the Pooh toothbrush and his Thomas toothpaste

Doing a great job!

I just discovered that he has 4 new teeth in the back!

Looking in the mirror

Abigail showing the camera that she is helping show him what to do

All done!   =)

Halloween costumes

Ripley, West Virginia

Abigail entertaining herself (and us) with Daddy's hat on the way to West Virginia.  =)

The usual smile

Jonathan went right to Uncle Ronnie when we got there.  I'm pretty sure he thought it was his Paw Paw Donnie.  =)

The weather was so nice that we went with Maw Maw Freeda and fed the ducks on Saturday while Daddy hunted.

Paw Paw Arthur, Uncle Ronnie, and Daddy

Playing with toys at Maw Maw Freeda's house

Paw Paw teaching Abigail how to play the "slap your hands" game

Abigail was having a ball.  She'd get so excited when she slapped Paw Paw's hands.

Abigail asking Paw Paw Arthur if she could ride on his 4 wheeler.

He told her Paw Paw Donnie would take her for a ride.  =)  She loved it so much that she wanted to go again!  =)

Abigail with Aunt Pam

Abigail with Maw Maw Freeda

Abigail with Maw Maw Violet

Paw Paw takes his dog, Cricket, for a ride in the laundry basket on the back of the 4 wheeler.  I had to take a picture!  =)

Maw Maw Ruby helping Jonathan decide whether he wanted to take a ride too.  He wasn't in a very good mood.  He just woke up from his nap.  =(

Throwing a temper tantrum because I wouldn't let him run out in the road.  He threw himself on the ground and started kicking and screaming.  All I can say is...  "Little Jay"  =)

He loved playing with the big wheel bike.

Picking leaves

Running around in the yard with Paw Paw Donnie

Paw Paw Donnie, Jonathan, Paw Paw Arthur, and Cricket

Jonathan saying good-bye to Maw Maw Violet.  We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back soon!  =)

Maymont

Jonathan's first time at Maymont Park

Maddox feeding the goats  (Abigail didn't want to.  She was too scared!)

The double stroller became a TRIPLE stroller when they both hopped on the back!  =)

Posing with the eagle

Abigail looking for the bear

Jonathan looking for the bear.  I love his expression!  =)

Running ALL OVER THE PLACE!

Group shot!  Jonathan just popped in there at the last minute!  =)
