yes, we are "back to life, back to reality."
(uh huh, that is the game of Life they are playing. and here michael is with the kids lives dancing around him).here is a bit of what we did on our fall break!
we rode bikes around the neighborhood.
road to the park, and created relay races. i was not just a spectator this time, but a participant.
we stayed up kid late (9:30), and watched movies we slept in till (8:00) adult late
we scootered across town and browsed antique shops (okay, the kids scootered, i browsed)
i discovered that i am too old to leap off of the park swing (sorry, no photo of me lying on the ground buried in woodchips)
we milked a wooden cow
exfoliated our feet in a corn kernel maze
fed farm animals
roller-skated hand in hand
caught up with a few old friends
and were well loved by family
Hi Denise!! I was wondering when you'd get back into the blogging world!! :) Good to see you and to see what you did while you were away! Fun stuff! :)
ReplyDeleteI also read about your Harvest Celebration! Looks like a total KICK!! I love square dancing... haven't done it in ages! Do a little dosie doh (sp??) for me!!! :)
Okay, seriously. How CUTE are you in those roller skates?? Looks like a ton of fun!!
ReplyDeleteThe corn makes me want to sneeze.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I went to a corn maze/petting zoo, I felt my sinuses filling as I drove off - the tears brimming and swimming and my eyes itching like crazy! By that night I was miserable!!! Oh, the agony of an allergic person in a corn maze. Never again - the kids can go it alone. :)
You look nice and perky, though - no sinus problems for you!
fall breaks are THE BEST. Glad you had fun.
