On Saturday we had a free day to explore and enjoy as a family.  We headed to the Children's Museum and it was WONDERFUL!!!
Much of the museum was just imaginative play, which was so fun for the age of kids we have!

Peek-A-Boo


Jacob enjoyed the pots and pans.

Sam played some baseball and tried to hit the target.  I was hoping that this activity was sponsored by Target the store and that there was one in the city, but no such thing ;)

Learning how a pulley system works.


They also had a body exhibit which the kids played in for a little while.  Basically Jacob just likes to climb onto everything!

And a farm part.  The kids pressed olives in an olive press, looked under a pretend chicken for some eggs, and milked a cow!

Back to the body exhibit!


They had a huge "Operation" game.  Andrew was really concentrating with his tongue hanging out!

Dr. Sam

He thought it was just easier to use his hands instead of the tongs!

Sam's favorite part... the construction zone!


Andrew's played in the pretend grocery store.  Here are the future Mr. and Mrs. shopping together :)


At the jail, Sam was looking into the microscope to see different finger prints.

This was Andrew's favorite part, the car garage.


He worked so hard at trying to get the wheels off of the car!


Climbing...

and swinging are two of Jacob's talents!

They also had an aquarium, a building with Styrofoam area, and an ancient civilization part.  It was very nice and not too busy!



We had such a fun time and we are so glad that we were able to enjoy this museum!

Today was the first day of cross country season for the Junior High team.  The thing about XC is that the work is put in during the summer months with early morning runs, afternoon runs, track workouts, and hill repeats.  All that work starts to become evident during these days when the races start. Jacob woke up feeling excited to get the season started.  Abigail work up at 5:48am to fix her hair and get ready for the bus.  Abram was pretty nervous as he woke up. 5th grade girls The kids ran their hearts out and did so well for the first meet. Jacob placed 2nd for his team and 3rd overall to help the boys varsity team clutch 1st place for Varsity Boys team.  Abigail looked strong and had an overall 4th place finish for the JV girls and placed 2nd for her team. Abram looked blocked it at the beginning but certainly made up for it with a strong ending to finish 1st place in the JV boys race. Let's go Tigers!

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
