Off to Blacksburg

This past weekend our family visited us in NC. And we all traveled together to VA Tech to see our niece. It was ideal fall weather in Blacksburg and the fall colors were so pretty.
















It's always fun to be in a college town. Love breathing in the spirit of the young. So exhilarating.













We had a great time and are eager for our next visit there.

Photo Shoot

This weekend the girls and I were out shopping and as we headed to the stores, we passed through a street that has a sweet little arboretum on it. Years ago, Lily and I would go there for walks during the spring. She would be in her stroller and I would push her while we talked about all of the pretty flowers.

But, it had been years since we had been back there. So, we took a shopping detour and stopped for a walk at the arboretum. While there I took out the iPhone and snapped a few photos of the girls on this perfect Fall day.

Lily found her prom date and never wants to let him go!

State Fair Fun

Friday was the third grade field trip to the state fair. Shelly was beyond excited to go and she woke up an hour early for the fun.






She spent her time with three other friends and they were all such good buddies throughout the day. Shelly is a bit cautious when it comes to the rides and her friends were always willing to encourage her and accept her. Those are some good girls!



















































Shelly worked up the nerve to get on this crazy ride. Her friends were very supportive and took good care of her while she was on it. 








But, when she got off her tummy was aching and she was looking a bit pale. Her last ride of the day made her a bit shaky and on the ride home she was sick to her stomach. Poor thing. But, she rested a little in the car and once home she was feeling better. It was an early bedtime for one happy and sleepy fair goer.
