Long, But Great Day!

Our trip to the museum was nice, but it was a LONG day. I want to first say thank you to Lady H for watching Little E for us. (We had 8 people and only a 7 passenger van, so she ..and her family...watched Little E for the day.) We were blessed to have friends (and their daughter) join us for the day. Here is Baby I as we started off our trip and don't forget to enjoy the muffins.
We didn't take as many pictures in the museum as we did the last time. It was really busy and we were trying to keep track of Big T and Sweet E. :D But the dinosaurs were the highlight of the day for Big T.

This time we got a chance to walk the gardens. I love it...it was so beautiful! The children loved the petting zoo and the suspension bridge.
By the time we got back inside to watch "The Last Adam" Sweet E was "done" and fell asleep in my lap. :D
And then it was time to head back across the Ohio River and head home. Big T didn't take long to fall asleep. We barely got into Indiana and he was out. :D It took Baby I about 2 hours of fighting sleep to finally give up. :D
We were blessed with safe travel and friends to accompany us. I just missed my Little E a lot, but I know he had a fun day too. There are frustrations with doing 6 hours of traveling in a day, but it sure does provide a lot of wonderful memories. :D

I want to get down there one day. I know what you mean about all the driving. My Dad and I drove to Lexington KY and back last week in one day. We did not have any little ones though.

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...

Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...
