Apple picking - and wine drinking :)

We decided to switch up the apple picking this year - go with friends and also to a place where the adults could chill out and have some vino while the kids played. It was so much fun!

Driving up there the scenery was just gorgeous!

Playing when we got there, Gia was feeling a little under the weather and 2 days later she was diagnosed with pneumonia, poor thing :(

 Hay ride to pick the apples!

 Pretty views

 Love this beauty

First Day of School!

I was pretty bummed summer was over and it was time to go back to school for Gia and start for Jack! It has been nice having some time to myself to get some stuff done and the kids really love school though so it works out alright. Plus the weather gets cold fast and that means a lot less things to do to keep them entertained! So it begins, I am already a hot mess thinking of her starting kindergarten next year, I really do not know where the time went :( Anyway... here are some super cute pics...
