Looking Ahead. The rest of our year...

Hard to believe but the rest of our year is filling in quickly. Here are a few of the highlights that we have penciled in...

September

~Cow Sale Labor Day Weekend at the Farm- Every year we head to the farm to help put on the Smith Family Cow Sale (this is Andy's Mom's family). This year should be even more fun because AG will be running around with everyone.

October

~Mountain Day Weekend- For those who don't know what Mountain Day is it is a weekend that Berry students, faculty, and alumni join together to celebrate Martha Berry's birthday every year. We are excited about celebrating Andy's five year reunion this year...and mine will be next year! Crazy, how quickly time flies. There will be a full house at the Edwards household with family and friends.

My senior Olympics...Caro came to visit and celebrate.

~Williamsburg- For our next Edwards Family Vacation we are packing up and heading back to Williamsburg. The last time we were all back there as a family was October 2006. This go round we'll have AG and Ronnie in tow. We'll be spending a week bouncing back and forth between Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens. In the photo below you can see Castle O'Sullivan in the background. One of the surprises we've planned for Ronnie and AG is lunch with Elmo and Friends at Castle O'Sullivan. AG is going to be thrilled...we can't wait to see his face. In my planning I've had to pull up the Busch Gardens website and he always crawls in to my lap to see the pictures of Elmo. We look at all the pictures and he squeals, "Elmo! Elmo! Elmo!" at each photo. There is just something about Williamsburg in the fall...it's breathtaking. The leaves will be turning and Busch Gardens will be decked out in pumpkins. I can't wait for us to head up there in a little over a month.

~Halloween-We are still trying to decide what AG should be this year...I saw a Snoopy costume last week and it made me think about this  picture from last year...

November

~Thanksgiving- We'll do our annual Thanksgiving feast with our college family before they leave for break and we celebrate with our family. Here's our crew from last year...

~Disney World- We had so much fun at Disneyland this past spring when we went to Cali that we decided to plan a trip to Disney World. We are leaving the Sunday after Thanksgiving and heading down with cousin Ronnie, Aunt Caroline, and Uncle Tommy. Caroline and I are eagerly planning every detail. Should be a fabulous week and pretty magical. We've been told that there is nothing like Disney at Christmas. I'm hoping to capture more photos like this while we are there...

December

~Christmas- A month full of holiday outings, moments, and celebrations. I'm planning to get the house decorated before we leave for Disney so that when we return it's all done. We'll be  spending some quality time with our college family before they leave for a month. I've already got several fun outings planned for AG this year. And who could forget this priceless snapshot from last Christmas with Emma...
