I know this will make you all jealous ...we had an AWESOME weekend in Boone, North Carolina (the heart of the high country). We went for our annual apple picking/camping extravaganza. Autumn cannot officially arrive until the Barnhurst's have picked apples in North Carolina! So, if Fall has arrived where ever you live, you can thank us!
The main event of the weekend was apple picking in the mountains ( for those of you out West, YES there are mountains east of the Mississippi...Dan made me write that!). We also went cave exploring, to Oktoberfest at a local ski resort, enjoyed lots of yummy eating at the campsite, and endless s'mores (the kids personal favorites). I was in heaven since everywhere we drove we saw beautiful mountains covered with Christmas tree farms! We had a great time and are happy to share some of the photos with you.
Be sure to check out the video below the slide show...Jake loves school buses and was SOOO excited to ride on a school bus from the parking lot to the resort for Oktoberfest. The best part was the BUMPY ride. The video is of Jake's cute reaction ( I only caught the end)!
