Al was off monday and tuesday, trevor had school and i worked at jodi's in the mornings. Al had court monday morning for work so i took tova with me on monday. monday after supper the wind finally died down so we raked leaves and played in the backyard until it got dark.
tuesday morning, Al and Tova went to a garage sale, grandpa peter's and swept up the leaves in the yard with the riding mower while i worked at jodi's.
wednesday Al worked so the kids and i did field trip wednesday to irvine park. the bridge and leaves were gorgeous!! the animals were playful, we got to play on the playground for a bit, watched the tons of ducks, and did a bit of a nature walk. After nap, the kids and i went out to jenny's house quick to pick apples. trevor was excited to pick apples since he didn't get to last time.
thursday was garage saling and house work.
the weekend was gorgeous!! friday morning trevor and i ran to a garage sale where he found some toys for 25 cents each. then we all took the boat out to lake altoona, near our house. the boat never made it off the dock because it was leaking gas again (out the other side this time.) but we still had fun. there's a playground there, we visited the little fishing dock and beach even though the water was freezing, then headed home for lunch. we played out back after lunch and even ate supper outside.
saturday morning we all packed up and headed to lake wazee to hike with matt, jodi, cam, chloe, carsyn, kassie, kade and kinsley. it was SO gorgeous! the leaves were at peak; even the drive was amazing! the kids had fun; we brought 2 carriers and kinsley ended up in one for the first time and she loved it! we even caught a gartner snake. we hiked over 2 miles before heading back towards home for wood fired pizza at fosters (which we hadn't been to in a long time.) we ate outside and brought picnic blankets, folding chairs and the kids folding table. it was fun and so nice out! then home for naps for the little ones. mom came down and met us at home when we got there. during tova's nap, jodi, mom and i ran to some garage sales and some errands. once tova was awake, all 5 of us drove over to river prairie park and walked around just before dark and it was stunning! then home for bed for the kids. then Al and i went to matt & jodi's for a bonfire until 11ish.
sunday morning we went to a couple garage sales and then stopped at the cool playground and nature path on the south side. it was much chillier but still nice to be outside. mom left at naptime.
