This past month we attended some of the fall festivals in the area. In the end of August, we went to Hendersonville, NC for the apple festival: http://www.ncapplefestival.org/
We liked the apple cider slushy and walking around to all the venders. In fact, she had to point out all the apples when we saw them! Adisyn really likes apples, as apples and bananas are her favorite (at least right now). She especially likes applesauce, which she will ask for by name when she wants it to eat. She also will eat an apple like a "big girl" - instead of chopping it up, she eats it whole. Grandma and Grandpa met us at the festival, since it is about half way for each of us to travel.
We also went to an apple festival at Niven's Farm in Moore, SC on September 28th : http://www.nivensapplefarm.com/. Adisyn really liked apple picking and the hay ride! We went there last year to the pumpkin patch and it's amazing how much she's changed in a year!
The first week of October we went to Spartanburg's International Festival: http://www.cityofspartanburg.org/international-festival. It was fun seeing all of the different countries and the different foods! Adisyn's favorite was a mango smoothie-like drink from Peru.

We visited some friends this past month. Adisyn's friend, McNeill, turned 2! We had a fun morning at their house for a lady bug picnic (even though it was rainy, so we spent it inside). Adisyn loved seeing her friend!
We also got to spend the afternoon with Jefferson and his family on September 8th. We ordered some Greek food from the Greek Festival down the road and spent most of the day there!
We had great weather this past month for outdoor activities. Adisyn loves to ride on the back of Mommy's bike as she calls it "Adi's seat". We did about 8 miles or so on the "Swamp Rabbit Trail" in Greenville: http://greenvillerec.com/swamprabbit.
We also had a lot of trips to the local parks. There are 3 playgrounds within 3 miles of our house. Adisyn is enjoying the playgrounds more as she goes up the stairs and down the slides by herself.

Her favorite things to do this month is "smile" when you tell her to, or she says "cheese". She also will ask "are you ok" if you tell her you have a bo-bo, then she'll kiss it for you! Her teachers at school think it's funny that she speaks in 3rd person all the time. She'll say "Adi play", "Adi poop", etc. Her best friend at school is Aubry, the teacher's daughter, because she talks about her at home all the time.
We had a great month visiting so many festivals in the area. Adisyn is at a fun age where she really enjoys the things that we do! I think I have as much fun as she does!
