We ate dinner in town on Friday night outside. It really was chilly! I can't believe the weather! The kids got up and danced to some live music while we enjoyed dinner! Saturday morning we got up and just took it easy, drank coffee, made some breakfast and played! We took the kids to the Nature Center in Highlands and it was really great! It was small but had so many things for them to look at and touch! Both kids got to pet Shelly the turtle! Jack LOVED the microscope slides. He went through all of them multiple times. Lucy loved the puzzles and putting her hands in the holes to feel what was inside! There were lots of trails outside in the botanical gardens! Jack was our trail leader and it was so fun! The trails were a good distance for the kids to walk and had lots to look at along the way! It really felt like we were deep in the woods! Jack pretended that we had to find out way back! Lucy hung in there for the walking and had fun too!
We grabbed lunch in town and then headed back to the cabin for the evening! Jack and I snuggled on the couch and watched a show while Daddy and Lucy took a nap! When they got up we all went down to the creek to play (IT WAS COLD! The kids didnt seem to mind...but Lucy finally decided that she was shivering and needed to head back inside!) Jack and Steven skipped rocks and played in the "waterfall"! We all had snacks on the big porch outside before making dinner! It was so nice just to hang out the four of us in a beautiful setting! It was just perfect! After dinner we all watched a movie and the kiddos headed to bed! Steven and I got to just sit together and watch TV and read! No laundry... nothing to do but just be!
Sunday we cooked another big breakfast and then headed back home!
We had a SUPER special visitor for dinner on Sunday evening! ML CAME OVER!!!!!! I can't tell you how excited I was to get to catch up and spend some time with her! She is one of those people that no matter how much times passes, we always pick right back up! We were all happy to get to visit! Lucy was in full show off mode (hard to imagine huh?)

Jack LOVED the microscope! He looked at it over and over again!
The microscope displayed the object on the screen! Lucy sat so sweet while Jack showed her everything!

A little update on Kindergarten! Jack is LOVING it! He is excited every morning and seems ready to go! He tells us about his day (After a lot of questions from Mommy! He is not the easiest child to get information out of!) He has been on purple for behavior 3 days!!! Purple is for an exceptional day! He is TOO excited about that! It is the first thing he tells us when we pick him up! We are so proud of him! He asked us tonight if we wanted to hear him count by 10s! It's just amazing to watch that sweet baby put on his backpack and head off to the bus every morning! Lucy is loving her new class and doing just great! She continues to keep us laughing most of the time! She is 2, but talks like she is about 15. She is very intentional about what she says and loves singing for anyone that will listen!
Jack's first morning on the bus!
And just a few more for fun.. I didnt get these uploaded in a previous post! Just a little adult fun! The Coopers came over for an adult only dinner! We opened one of our BIG bottles of Napa wine together! Too FUN! The Leonards love their wine!
