It has been a fun week around town and around our house. Check out some of the recent happenings.
Happy New Year!
This year we spent our New Year’s Eve at the Reagens’, where we are nearly every year! It is always a blast and the kids love to party.
Weekend Hikes
This weekend we got out for two hikes, to enjoy the nice weather. On Friday evening we went for our monthly hike with the Prairie Grass Guild. On Sunday we went with the Reagens to Brown’s Woods.
Jasper Winery
This evening we hit the Jasper Winery Summer Concert Series, with the Reagens (of course). The kids had a blast dancing up front!
Back Yard Camping
Fun Day!
The weather has been beautiful lately and we have been enjoying some nice days. Thursday tends to be one of our busier days, and yesterday was no exception. By the time Bean Sprouts started at 8:30 the kids were off to their homeschool enrichment classes. Mimi picks takes them and Papa picks them up and they all go to lunch.
They arrived home as we were still eating lunch with the Thursday Aftercare crew. Madeline, Stella, Veda, and Evy all stay after school on Thursday to play. This certainly makes Thursday afternoons lively and Lucia loves having the around.
When Evy got picked up at 4:45 the kids and I loaded up the bikes and rode to Neighborhood Sports. It is an 8 mile ride, mostly on trails, and it takes about an hour. This was our first time and it was nice. With just a few street crossings, most of the way was easy passage.
Neighborhood Sports is always fun when the weather is nice. This evening we played soccer. There were about 24 kids there and most were ready to have a good time.
After Neighborhood Sports it was time to make up for our missed dinner, so we headed to Snookies for some soft-serve. The Reagens joined us for our first visit of the year.
Merry Christmas!
New Year’s Eve 2014
Last night we hit the Reagens’ for our annual New Year’s Eve celebration. As usual we were joined by the O’Hallorans and a lot of food. The kids convinced us to let them stay up until midnight.
Hope had gone to bed at around 11:30. Just as everyone else was getting into bed Hope threw-up all over her bed and everything was thrown into disarray. At that point we decided to call it a year, and headed home.
