Football and Apple Picking!

What says fall more than football and apples! We were lucky enough to enjoy both this week!! This first picture is Jackson ready for college day at preschool. Since we were unable to find any IU or USF gear, we decided to represent grandaddy's alma mater with Clemson. Jackson looks pretty good in orange!!










One of our friend's is a football coach for Alatoona, so we headed to the game Friday night. Jackson loved watching the game and afterwards said that he wanted to play football too. Hopefully, he will wait a little bit longer!! Mommy is not ready to see her little boy get tackled!!












Loving on Daddy at the Football game.












Go Alatoona!!









Saturday we made the trip up north to Mercier Orchards in Blue Ridge to go apple picking! The night before, I read Jackson a story about apple picking and making apple pie. He was so excited for both!!







First apple of the day! There were over 100,000 apple trees with more varieties than you could imagine! We ended up with Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, and Topaz. They were delicious!!




Can I pick all those apples?








Delicious!!







By far Jackson's favorite part of the day...the tractor. He was also so excited to get to wear his tractor shirt for the occasion.









Look at all those apples!!!






It was so nice how low the apples grew to the ground! I was a little worried they would be too tall for Jackson and he would be upset, but he was able to pick all of our apples!







Pulling hard to get that apple!









I love apple picking!!








Enjoying the fruits of his labor....literally! After apple picking, we headed to lunch at a barbeque place called the Pink Pig. It was delicious and there was pig memorabilia everywhere, which was very fun for Jackson!




I wonder what adventure we will go on this weekend?

Tell Jackson granddaddy loved the Clemson shirt, and maybe it will bring the team luck. Apple pie is one of my favorites, so my mouth just watered seeing all of those apples. Miss you all so much! I am so happy that Gloria will be there with you next week. She will give Jackson noni kisses for me.
