Spruce Pine Camping Trip

The first photo here is entered into papermama's "Favorite photo from September" photo challenge for this week.  September in NC means a break from hot and humid summer weather and our family celebrated with a camping trip to the mountains  of coarse, it rained on us sunday night (3 to 4 inches!) but our saturDAY was perfect.

Holly could hardly wait to get to the car to eat one of the apples we bought at the orchard.  Here is a picture of Holly taking her first bite of said fresh NC apple (it was a golden delicious)!  and, i'd say from the look on her face that it's pretty tart (it was, i tasted it too - tart, but goldeny delicious!).

as for pictures from the rest of our trip... we went to mt. mitchell (the kids thought they were going to fall off the top...), to the mineral museum in spruce pine, gem mining at some cheezy touristy place, and to the orchard at altapass - there was a band playing there and holly really liked it.  she's our singer and dancer.  so, here are my favorite pics of the weekend!  (the rest aren't entered in the contest, just for my friends and family to enjoy!)
