Autumn in Kentucky---October 2010

Here we are on our autumn trip to Kentucky with the Smiths!  We usually go during Fall Break, but since Keri was pregnant with baby Hugh, we had to come earlier!  Here is Jack enjoying his first apple of the season from Mathis Apple Orchard!

Al and Lucy try to reach the perfect apple!

We had fun getting to talk to Mr. Mathis as he worked  in his orchard.  Jack loved the tractor!

Taking a hike around the little lake.

Anna and Lizzie have chosen the perfect pumpkins!

Sara Kate too!

What sweet kids!  Except that Jack was ready to run around!

What a cute little family--about to grow even bigger with Baby Hugh arriving soon!

Darling Lucy!

Sweet John David!

Adorable Luke!

Jonathan helps  Jack out with is big old apple!  This was Jack's first apple to just bite whole!  Big step!!

Time to Jump on the Hay!  Here are the biggest kids of all! :)

Hay Races!!

Sweet Anna!

Lovely Lizzie!

Precious Sara Kate!

It took Sara Kate a long time to muster up the courage to jump!  But when she did, she kept doing it over and over and over!  Way to go, Sara Katie!!!

Uncle Al's Fun Mobile!! (Jack was home taking a nap with Lucy and Matthew and Grandma!)

Frolicking down Goat Hill!

Jack could not be convinced to hold the bottle or feed the baby calves!

Lizzie is an old pro by now!

My little man!

Jack is in the stage where he wants to climb everything just so he can jump off of it!! :)  What a cutie!

Jack LOVED riding in the combine with Granddaddy......he was not scared at all!

There goes my heart!

Jack and Baby Matthew became good pals on this trip.  (Of course right after this picture, Jack dumped Matthew out of his lap and onto the couch!)  oops!  We had a great time in Kentucky!!
