Olivia update

Here's some of the activities Olivia has been up to during August & September-

Olivia loves to ride her bike! She tries hard to keep up with Cameron :)
She loves purses, especially a few old ones of mine that I have given to her. Here she is showing off her phone (an old one of Charles') 

She has been going to mommy & me gymnastics since she was 20 months old and just recently got moved up into the Tumblebuddies class where she goes out by herself. She is the youngest in the class but does very well listening & following directions.

Photo is a little blurry but it shows Olivia hanging upside down on the bar

Showing off her new leotard I bought her for gymnastics
In September Olivia started her first ballet class which is held at the same location as her gymnastics class. She really does great in that class also & loves it! I can't get over how cute she looks in her ballet outfit!

Labor Day trip to the Cabin

We took a short trip to the cabin over Labor Day weekend & got to enjoy some apple picking, yummy food made on the fire, celebrating Cameron's official birthday and tubing down the river. It was another great trip to the cabin!

This was our second trip to Mercier Orchards in Blue Ridge, GA but our first time picking apples. The kids loved it!
This is us on the wagon ride to the orchards.
Picking apples
Yummy!


Lots of apples! I made apple dumplings and apple pie :)


Our cabin trips always include spending some time in downtown Blue Ridge & visiting an ice cream shop there.


Snapping green beans to cook on the fire- so delicious! Charles does a lot of the cooking at the cabin & loves to cook things over the firepit. Food always turns out so good!

Ribs :)
Opening his gifts- a Kindle and some Disney buses

Not at the cabin but here's Cameron celebrating his birthday in his classroom

Our picnic lunch after tubing. Charles & Olivia went on one tube together (she was scared of some of the rapids) and Cameron & I had our own tubes. Cameron did great & loved it

Cameron's 5th birthday at Disney

We celebrated Cameron's 5th birthday a few weeks early with a weekend camping trip at Disney's Fort Wilderness. This was our first time using our new camper (a "toy hauler") which we bought back in July. It has a full kitchen, bath, bunk beds and another small bed in the front. The back door folds down so that we can haul motorcycles, golf carts or other small things. We really love having the extra space (and I love having the bathroom, lol!)
We invited two families to spend the day with us on Saturday to celebrate Cameron's birthday and the kids enjoyed swimming, pizza, cake and playing games. It was a great camping trip!

Looking in from the back (there's a screen you can pull down when the back is open if the weather is nice.) Those seats fold down to make one of the beds.




Hello!

Bike riding is always a must while camping!

Cameron asked for a Mickey Mouse school bus cake so here's my best attempt, lol! I made the cake & Charles did the frosting design. 
The other little boy is someone Cameron met at the campground the day before & he invited him to the party.
