September

September is always a busy month for us. We start the month off by spending Labor Day weekend hiking in Natural Bridge State Park/Red River Gorge, Kentucky. This year because Grandpa and Grandma were going to be out of the country when we had Melanie's party we celebrated her birthday with them at Natural Bridge. Then we have the Harvest Home Parade/Fair, which is followed by Melanie's birthday. By the time September is over we are ready for a break.

This is the cake for party number one.

Grandpa's birthday is September 6 and Melanie's is September 10 so we celebrated both birthdays at Natural Bridge.

This, I think was Melanie's favorite birthday gift. We found this dress while we were in Gatlinburg. Melanie really wanted us to buy it for her. We told her that we weren't and then we surprised her with it on her birthday.

This is Melanie posing with the cake from birthday party number 2.
