Fall Break

We took a break from school and Jonathan took a week off in October. We didn’t have any big plans, but we still managed to have a lot of fun. We spent the first weekend in Eustis and Jonathan framed out a mirror for my parents while my mom and I did some shopping.

The kids took part in all of their regularly scheduled activities. One day was completely open and we had a groupon for the Santa Fe zoo that was expiring soon so we visited there, but we didn’t tell the kids where we were going, they had to guess. As we turned to go to Santa Fe, Rosemary finally figured it out. It was relatively empty and the kids enjoyed seeing the animals and playing on the playground.

The poor peacocks and peahens. Charlotte chased them all over and at one point actually caught one of them by the feathers. Poor bird.

After the zoo, we took Charlotte home for a nap and Jonathan took Ben and Rosemary out canoeing at Lake Wauberg.

I asked Ben what he did while they were canoeing. He told me he relaxed.

We surprised the kids again that night with a trip to Sweet Dreams for dessert. We’d accumulated about 4 or so penny single scoops so we went and redeemed those.

I think Ben may have enjoyed his ice cream.

We enjoyed ours too!

Also during the week, Jonathan took Rosemary rock climbing at Sun Country. She loved it. And I took Ben and Charlotte to Stay and Play on Friday at Sun Country. I don’t think Charlotte ever really had a chance to go before and Ben hadn’t gone since he was about Charlotte’s age. They both had a blast.
