Ugh. We dropped dh off at the airport yesterday. He’s off to a training school until Friday. The time sure seems to go slow when he is gone. :( So, we are attempting to keep ourselves busy. We got up and did school as usual, had lunch, and then headed out to my alma mater and walked the nature trail.
I almost lost them at the beginning of the trail lol!! They read that sign and wanted to turn tail and run. It says “CAUTION: You may encounter poisonous snakes and alligators in this area.”
It’s a half-mile boardwalk, with lots of benches for resting periods…the kids stopped at every one of them. :)
Isn’t this pretty? The two trees that have fallen over and form a sort of canopy? There were tons of trees down and some of the boardwalk itself was still damaged (from hurricane Ivan 2004) but it kind of made it more interesting.
Check it out! Turtles sunning themselves.
When we came to the end the kids did a little sketching in their nature journals.
Ds3 has been wishing and wishing to go to our neighborhood Chili’s restaurant. Well, I promised him we would when dh was out of town, so I made good on the promise after our walk.
Kid’s not happy at all, is he?
He had the adult sized meal! Ate all but that corn.
Ds4 was happy with the variety of sugar packets. :)
Okay, I think that’s been enough to keep us busy today. We got a free redbox rental and picked out Madagascar 2 and that should keep us happy for the rest of the night. I’m thinking of taking the boys to a free museum day tomorrow, but we’ll see how things go. We miss our daddy!!
My son can easily amuse himself with sugar packets too. lol
ReplyDeleteI know you would have lost me at the sign that said poisonous snakes and alligators!
