Indianapolis

The second stop on our trip was Indiana where we are visiting with Aunt Christi, Uncle Justin, Maca, Lauren, and Maddie. We visited another apple orchard too. Samuel, who will constantly be eating an apple if I let him, is in apple heaven.

The silly cousins.

Time with Uncle Seth & Aunt Heather

This past Wednesday, the boys and I headed out for a road trip. I had been considering such a trip sometime this fall and then Jeremiah reminded me that his rocket club had their big October launch the first weekend of the month, so our trip became reality.

Our first visit was with Uncle Seth and Aunt Heather. We got to see their apartment and get shown around Greenville. We went out to an apple orchard with them and pick some apples and bought a scrumptious carmel apple pie that we enjoyed back at their place before we headed out.

Saturday Hike

On Saturday we went to a new to us path in Lafayette, Public Road Trailhead. It was a nice little trail that followed a stream that actually still had water.

Hard to see here, but this crawdad had turquoise on him.

Spencer's Life Dream

Spencer loves to memorize things and is really good at it too. This year we enrolled him in a nearby church's Awana program where he gets this fancy vest for badges that he earns by memorizing scripture. I can't tell you how much this vest means to him, like it was his lifelong goal to get one. He's in heaven this year because in addition to Awana, he and Isaac are also participating in Boy Scouts, which means another vest and more badges.

Spencer won a DQ gift card tonight in their crazy hat contest. He really did wear a hat, he had taken it off by the time he got home though. :-)

Berry Patch Farms

This past Saturday we went to Barry Patch Farms in Brighton to check it out. The strawberry picking was slim, but there were raspberries galore, it was wonderful! We'll definitely be going back.

This is bacon bits, the rather plump resident pig.

Puppy Love

Spencer and his toad.

I found this on the point and shoot today, one of the boys' pics. It cracked me up.
