First Snow!

We woke up to 5 1/2 inches of snow!  THe kids spent most of the day going in and out and in and out, sledding and playing.  They LOVED that Nicholas was home to sled with them.  What a fun day! 

The Wasilik Poplar

This past weekend we enjoyed a hike to the Wasilik Poplar - the 2nd largest tree on the east coast! 

It's dying so I'm glad we went.  It's almost completely hollow. 

Everyone inside the tree!

County Fair 2016

We love our county fair.  It's an old school agriculture fair with no rides - yes, you heard me right.  But so much fun!

Our homeschool co-op's educational booth got first place!  The kids were very excited.

The theme was "Celebrate and Educate".  The silhouettes of moms are celebrating in the back and the children's pictures are are attached to fall vegetables as our "harvest".  My little bowl of potatoes.  :) 

And as tradition demands we went to Dairy Queen after the fair!  

Last Days of Summer

On the last day the Rec Park pool is open for the summer, we finally got there!  Nicholas came too and we all had so much fun!  Claire and Fiona LOVE the water slide.

Family Day!

We had a lovely family today up at a little mountain lake near us.  I love these days - it's what life is all about! 

Now we are finishing our day with delivery pizza and Zootopia in the living room.  Perfect day!
