Fall Fun, Part 2

We had a very interesting visit to Four Mile Park with Mom and Dad.
 
 
 
Seeing an old pump...

 
In a one room school house...

 
This is how they used to do the laundry, kids...

 
Old stables...

 
An old covered wagon. It was narrower than I expected.

 
An old stagecoach...

 
Trying their hand at the plow...


 
Inside a teepee..

 
We also had fun getting pumpkins with Mom and Dad.


 
School: Learning to tie a bow with my old page from when I was in Kindergarten homeschool!
 



 
A-A-Apple!

 
Science experiment with yeast. We put the bottle (with a balloon on it) in the pantry to see what it would do).

 
The balloon puffed up fast!

 
 
Garrett wrote to Anders about it.

Fall Fun Part One

The first day we dropped G & Wy off at Wednesday school, Wade and I had a lovely, quiet walk around the lake. He picked flowers and gave them to me.
 
 
We bought our house in September! First on the list of things to do: rip up the carpet in the bathroom!

 
The boys and I enjoyed the step back in history at a reenactment of the colonial time period. The boys got to work with wood and dip candles. We saw a war reenactment, saw "George Washington" speak, and bought them toy guns.





 
 
Lighting the candles when we got home.

 
We picked up Grandma the next day or so! It was great having her and Grandpa visit. We worked like crazy on our new food blog, went to Smashburger, took walks, visited 5 Mile Park, and went on the Georgetown Loop Railroad...


















 
Fun times at Applebee's after picking Gpa up from the airport.

 
Mom made Wyatt a special cake for his 6th birthday! It was wonderful having them here to help celebrate.



 
Wyatt was thrilled with his new skates!

 
We watched Garrett at soccer practice.
