Fall Break wrap up

So last week was fall break. Each day I tried to think up something fun around town to do with the girls. The week definitely wore me out, but it was great to have time with the girls during the day and to be able to see so many fun things our town has to offer.

Monday we visited the library, found some books off Anna's A/R list, picked up Mimi from the airport and then the girls went to the circus with my dad and stepmother Julie. They had a blast and even rode an elephant!

Tuesday it was supposed to rain so Mimi and I loaded up the girls and headed to the Children's Museum. Gotta love using the membership for free admission. The girls played and played and played. Mom and I were starving and finally got the girls to leave. We let them pick our lunch place and of course we landed at Chick-fil-a.

Wednesday we were off the My Big Backyard at the Botanic Gardens (see earlier post). Loved it and joined that day!

Thursday we drove and drove and drove and landed at Cedar Hill Farm in Hernando, MS. The girls enjoyed a pumpkin patch, hay ride, corn maze, pig races, petting zoo, pony ride and much more. Kind of a humid day but at least the rain held out. Caroline was sacked out on the ride home, only to wake up rested by the time we got home!

Friday was STORMY and so to be creative, Mimi and I took the girls to Paint-a-Piece pottery studio. The girls picked out gifts to paint for Gammy for Christmas and had a lot of fun in the process!!

caroline was all over the place, but had fun!

Saturday and Sunday were normal weekend days with lots of college football, church, lunch with friends and fun outside in the cool fall temperatures!

Monday brought in-service for the girls so they stayed with Mimi as I can only stay away from work for so long!!

Fall break was fun....next year we will probably be at Disney World....we promised Anna we would return when Caroline was 4 and so she will be next year!!
