As the plane flies...

A week of visiting has concluded. Both of my folks came from afar to bless us and gladden us with their presence (and their presents) . Can we say it was a thrilling week of adventure, exploration and discovery? Definitely! Every visit with my folks ends up that way, driving to new places, finding trails, parks, museums and FUN all about us. Forgetting our everyday normal routine, we managed to get in some lovely fall trail blazing, the zoo, a local autumn fair ( where we were able to watch some lumber jacks, and see Julia and Sam's craft entries and ribbons), a children's museum, more trail blazing, lots of food making and eating, Thanksgiving dinner with family, games, puzzles, music, singing, more music, biking together, piano music, more singing, some school work, some cleaning, and then more trail blazing. Yup. that about sums up the week... I think. Well.... I believe it is time to add the photos. Enjoy!

Praying Mantis: caught it, observed it, released it. so so COOL!
