Camping, Ice cream and Animals

The weather has been great here, not too awful cold and a few very sunny days. Joe took Judah fishing and camping at a nearby lake, and even though it was windy they both had a blast. They fished and made a fire and roasted hotdogs. Meanwhile, I took Adam over to a friend's house (and on the way stopped off at our favorite ice cream joint for a banana split).

Afterwards, Adelaide and I went shopping and stopped off at Chikfila as well, for a little one-on-one time together. =D

Earlier this week, we had a beautiful day with a high of 77, and since I knew dreary days were coming, I packed us up a lunch, skipped school for the day and headed to the zoo. Man what a relaxing time it was just having fun with the kids..we rode the merry-go-round after eating lunch, playing on the playground and seeing all the animals. Adam absolutely LOVED the carousel and didn't want to get off. We finished off our trip with cotton candy and headed home. Yay for field trips! =oD

Fall Fun

 Fall has been beautiful so far. We've been trying to make every day count before colder weather sets in. A few weeks back I loaded the kids up and we headed to Georgia for our occasional week of family visiting. It's always nice to be with everyone that I miss on a daily basis. You really don't know what you're missing until you move 500 miles away.

 Days were spent visiting family, having fun, eating food, etc. ;o)

 We took a day and went to Rock Ranch, owned by Truitt Cathy (the Chik-fil-a guy). The place was loads of fun! For $12 (we had a coupon) the kids got to do whatever they wanted! Pony rides, corn maze, Tiny Town, little tractors..it was just an endless supply of fun activities for them! I don't know why we haven't been there sooner!

 Grammy and Poppy's swing, on a beautiful Georgia day!

 When we got back to Indiana we planned a day to go apple picking at Huber's farm. They day was a little windy but it turned out to be a lot of fun! 63 lbs of apples later we were set!

=o)

Sorry I skipped September without a post. I rarely hop on the computer anymore, even emails don't get checked for weeks. So to catch up on everything we did before fall hit...

Adam's birthday came and went (1 whole year?!)

I've reclaimed my love of sewing and have been busy making Addie some clothes.

We've been busy doing kindergarten stuff

Fishing with friends

Enjoyed the last bit of summer

Once I manage to get more photos off my phone I'll fill you in on what we've been doing for fall!
