Halloween 2017

North Carolina Happenings

There were legos...

and mountains...

and Snap Circuits...

and a birthday present...

and a nature center.

Over the River and Through the Woods...

...to Grandmother's House We Go!!

Yes, the photo is blurry.  That is because we were actually blurry in real life.  It was 3 in the morning and we were facing a 12 hour drive.

September Outings

Going to the nature center with friends:

Going "camping".  We were planning a camping trip to Boyne City, but between Spencer breaking his arm and Audrey going through a rough sleeping patch and all of us still re-combobulating ourselves after a busy August, we decided to faux camp and take a stay-cation this year.

We watched movies on the airbed:

Went to the beach:

And visited the Detroit Zoo with my parents:

Nana and her four grandchildren.

Joint Birthday Party in South Carolina

The birthday was good and the fishing, as always, took a turn for the worse as soon as we arrived.  Oh, bother!

We also took an amazing trip to the Georgia Aquarium.  Thank you G-Mom and G-Pop.

Florida!!

Audrey and I flew to Florida to visit my Aunt Victoria.  Peter was having a special birthday trip with Nana and Papa and Doug and the younger boys held down the fort.

South Carolina Trip and Homeschool Convention

I am SO excited.  I had the opportunity to go to a homeschool convention in Greenville, SC while Doug and the boys hung out with Doug's parents at their South Carolina lake house.  The boys all had a good time in unseasonably warm weather and I got a few days and nights all to myself hearing some wonderful, inspirational speakers.

The dinosaur is from the exhibit hall at the homeschool convention.
