Last weekend we went to Ellijay, Georgia for their annual Apple Festival. We had a really wonderful time, but I guess it was a little anti-climatic for me. It was tourist-y and expensive. Instead of feeling like I was at an Apple Orchard I felt like I was a Disney Land or back in Myrtle Beach. My goal for next year is to find the place no one goes instead of where everyone goes. I am still getting used to the fact that there is so many people living here in Atlanta. When we used to go to a farm a crowd is like 10-20 people, now we are faced with hundreds. Craig has decided that " Apple People are crazy " we went to an orchard on the way out of town to get some cider for the kids, who were at this point"dying" they were so thirsty. The store was so packed with people almost in a panic, maybe they were going to run out of apples , not sure. Craig said one woman knocked Emma down on the ground and then some man pushed him into a table causing him to cut his leg. Crazy I tell you!After we left the Apple Festival we went to a pumpkin patch on the way home in Dawson, Ga. Unfortunatly,(so this is all you get Grandparents) I didn't get to take the normal 400 pumpkin patch pictures I normally take do to the enormous crowd. I was just trying to keep Emma in tow. Next year we will grow our own pumpkin, I think.

we want to grow our own pumpkins next year, too! :^)
i want to grow birdhouse gourds again - they are so fun to grow, and they grow so *fast* and so *big*. i once made the mistake of growing the vines on a trellis - which eventually crumpled under the weight of the gourds!
