You would never know it was fall yesterday when the temperature here hit 87 degrees.  Talk about global warming!  I can’t put my summer clothes away yet, but we’ve had a few chilly days so I have had to pull out a few sweaters and jackets too.  I’m getting to be a slave to the weather channel.

About the 3^rd week of September I thought it might have been too early to pick apples, but we went out to the orchard anyway.  It turned out it was almost too LATE to go, that they had almost been picked clean.  We did manage to get a few and had some fun and ice cream on the way home.

The Apples of My Eyes

Our church Sunday school had their annual Rally Day picnic a few weeks ago, when the kids get to have a BBQ and play some fun games.  One they really like is the Mummy Wrap, where they choose three adults to sit in folding chairs and divide the kids up into three teams.  Each team is given a roll of toilet tissue.  They have to wrap their “mummy”, covering them as much as possible, and the first team to finish their 1000-sheet roll wins. 

Our Team

The young kids had a blast on the obstacle course, running through tires and hoops and slides while they raced against the clock for their best time.  There was a new girl in my little girl’s class who was afraid to run alone, so they ran together holding hands, it was so precious!
