Stephen had the fun idea for the fall to have a caramel apple party for the children's friends. Well, as we went through the guest list it was close to 60 people. I thought yes it sounds fun, but it sounds really messy too. I had visions of crazy children running through my house covered in caramel and I nearly had an anxiety attack. So my only contribution to the party was saying, " Yes, we can have it but not at our house."
It ended up really great, we brought all the fixings to a favorite downtown park and let the kids have at it. It was a beautiful day at the park and the children had a great time running off all their extra sugar energy. Luke strategically placed himself at the table with the sprinkles and just kept scooping spoonful after spoonful of sprinkles in his bowl. It was a great turnout, we went through about 55 apples that day, for some of the kids it was the first time they had every tried a caramel apple. I am sure it will become an annual event.
Finger licking good.
We didn't get all the children in the picture but here is some of our caramel apple kids.
Cutey Addison Kate.
My parents made their annual November visit and really got some beautiful
Mississippi fall weather the first week they were here. (Although they did get a little taste of Hurricane Ida
visiting the day before they left). Here we are at Harbor Landing, we usually bring all of our '
Northerner visitors' here. Can't beat eating outside looking at this view and Grandma Nancy loves the crabcakes.
Addison with Grandma and Grandpa. Addison was mesmerized by Grandpa's sunglasses. We couldn't get her to look away. We had a fun visit with Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Jon, we were able to take the boat out to one of our waterfront
restaurants, the kids went golfing with Grandma and Grandpa, we spent lots of time at the park and playing outside too. It was a nice visit and Addison loved having the extra attention.
