Skyline Drive

With fall foliage upon us in Central Virginia, we took our annual trip to Skyline Drive this weekend to see the beautiful changing leaves. Lily enjoyed running around outside and playing in the grass, while Jon and I enjoyed taking way too many pictures with our new camera! Here is a little slide show from the day:

A Fortney Wedding

Just last weekend, Jon's younger brother, Tim, got married. The wedding was absolutely perfect! Christina (the bride) looked beautiful, the weather was great, and the reception was just so much fun.

Lily was a flower girl, along with her cousin Ally, and she did a pretty decent job. I did have to walk her down the isle, but at least there were no temper tantrums!

Carter's Mountain Orchard

The Fortney family went to an apple festival this weekend in Charlottesville. Lily got to pick her own apples right from the tree, choose her own pumpkin to take home, and eat some homemade apple donuts. And I guess I ate more than my fair share of donuts as well!

Here are some pictures from the day:

And here is a little video:

Apple Butter Time!

Jon and I took Lily to make apple butter at her Grandma's and Great-Grandma's church this weekend. Jon made the mixing look quite easy:

But I didn't have such an easy time with it! In fact, I think you can see the men in the background of this picture laughing at me:

But despite the hard labor, we all had a great time!

Lily and Anna

Lily's cousin, Anna, came for a visit recently. The two of them "played" together very nicely! Here is a little clip of the two of them together:

Lily's New Room!

Since we have to start making room for a new little baby, we decided to move Lily into the bigger bedroom (formally the guest room) and let the baby have the smaller room. Lily moved into her "big girl room" this week and really likes it! We just hope she is still happy when the new baby moves into her old room.

Our Williamsburg Vacation

Jon, Lily and I took a little trip to Williamsburg this month for vacation. We visited Busch Gardens, Water Country USA, and Colonial Williamsburg, all of which was a lot of fun. At Busch Gardens, Lily really enjoyed riding the train around the park and seeing the Clydesdale horses. She even rode on some of the rides with Jon!

At the water park, we all splashed around in the kiddie pools, which was nice considering the temperature got up in the nineties while we were there.

Colonial Williamsburg wasn't that big of a hit for Lily, considering she is a little young to enjoy the history aspect of it, but she (once again) loved seeing the horses.
