Sleeping Beauty

What grand thespians!

They did a marvelous job! Ben told me he can not wait for the next play!

Archery

Grandma Hascall went with us to archery today. As a special treat, she shot with us and hit a bunch of cards. It was fun! We are getting so much better! Just ask Ben, he will tell you he ROCKS!

Eating Out

Grandma Hascall and Virgina went to lunch with us today. It was delicious!

Dress Rehearsal

Today was dress rehearsal for their play, Sleeping Beauty. I was amazed at how well all of the kids did. Alex and Ben were thrilled to be on stage and kept asking if everyone was going to come watch them. I assured them that Daddy and I would not miss it for anything. I can not wait until we get the DVD so everyone else can watch!

Ben made such a handsome little prince and Alex was a beautiful butterfly and bird.

Riley's Farm

Today we got to join the Peterson's on their school field trip to Riley's Farm. It is a Colonial farm that lets you learn about things in that time period. We got to churn butter, learn to write with a quill, Ben learned how to bow properly to a lady (lifting his hat and all), while Alex learned to curtsy. They learned a dance, how to weave, games of the time period, which they loved!, helped an apple press make cider (or ale), watched a silversmith melt and reform metal, and help carry a Colonial flag. It was so neat. The highlight of course was this monstrous apple pie that I purchased to take home. It was beyond delicious!

More Riley's Farm

Such a fabulous day!

LEAVES

One thing I miss about Indiana is the changing of the leaves. Today, Alex and Ben got to go help Mr. Dibble rake leaves. He then treated them to a leaf shower and piles to jump in. They had the best time. I am not too much sure how much help they were, but they loved it and did not want the fun to stop!
