The Apple Umpkin Festival

The Apple Umpkin Festival is always the last full weekend of September. We decided to go on Sunday instead of Saturday this year because we had Taylor and Cody and we figured all of the kids would enjoy it. Well at first none of them wanted to go LOL! But when the time finally came all of them decided they did want to go and they had a blast!

We got taffy and Josh bought them a fried dough. We stopped down st Sue and Skip Coon's like we do every year and has some of Sue's YUMMY homemade chicken noodle soup! And of course Grandma Cooley had some of her sugar cookies there and the kiddos were quick to gobble them up! All in all it was a fun day. We stopped along the way and had a "photo shoot." The kids loved it, however Cece didn't cooperate very well but those of you that know my little princess well should not be very surprised. =-)

Memory Walk 2009

Stephanie invited me to walk with her for this years Memory Walk on Sept 26th. The event raises money for the Alzheimer's Association. My Aunt Cindy's mother just passed away on September 15th and she had Alzheimer's. So when I called Baltz Concrete for sponsorship Uncle Nick told me I should call Aunt Cindy to see if she wanted to walk with us. I did and she said absolutely. It was emotional but it was such a wonderful, beautiful day and the walk was really nice. It was a 3.5 mile walk along the Erie Canal and then into the Genesee Valley Park in Rochester. This is something we definitely do every year from now on. And I am walking with Mike, Aunt Jo and Taylor on October 18th for a Cancer Walk too but that one is 6 miles. I am a walking fool, LOL!! All in the name of charity and Cancer is sadly a disease that has impacted our family dramatically.
