Apples, apples, everywhere!

Here are some pictures from our trip to Ellijay to visit the apple orchard.



Our sweet friend Renee joined us.



John enjoyed "kicking apples" while we were supposed to be "picking apples".

Mini-Me

I've been told Mary looks like me. Okay; now I see it. Here's a picture from our weekend trip to the apple orchard.

Eewww!

The neighbor captured a little snake and the girls were so brave. John and I were totally creeped out, but the girls and Garrett were very excited the with the door-to-door petting zoo.

We were at the Jackson Co. McCain-Palin Rally tonight. Right behind the park where the rally was held, we noticed the Obama Headquarters. We felt compelled to take the opportunity to express our dislike.

Mary's essay reading went well. . . we are so proud. I'll try to post the video of her big moment.

A Crab!

This is my favorite picture from our beach trip. Garrett caught a crab (in the bucket) and John and Mary are really thrilled at the prospects of getting closer to it . . . tee hee. John's expression is the best.
