Outing #1

Our first outing over Winter break was to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.  The kids were so excited to see all the displays of bugs when we walked in.

But our favorite exhibit was the Space Odyssey, by far!  There was so much to do there.  Jacob directed a rocked ship with a joy stick…

Mazie learned about waning and waxing of the moon as she pretended to be Earth…

We learned new things about the different animals.  I think Jamie asked me a dozen times if the animals were real and you could see Jacob watching to see if any would move. 

The dinosaurs were a close second.  I think Jacob knew most of the types of dinos and if he didn’t he quickly learned!

But anywhere the kids were together, they were happy…

The Pumpkin Patch

Today was Jamie’s field trip to The Pumpkin Patch.  Since Jeremiah doesn’t have class on Fridays and was able to take Jacob to his gym class, I was able to go along and chaperone.  It was lots of fun!

The kids were let loose to climb the haystack…

and go through the small hay bale maze…

and do a little pumpkin bowling…

and enjoy the fast slides…

As groups we went on the hay ride .  Another mom took this one of the two of us…

Then there was time to get some posed shots of Jamie being an ear of corn…

and with this cute little scare crow display…

We ate lunch on hay bales all together and then picked out pumpkins.   No, Jamie did not bring this one home.  They were told they had to carry their pumpkins all the way back to school.  She just wanted to pick this one up.  She did settle for a smaller one but it was just perfect for her!

The kids left to go back to school where they weighed and measured their pumpkins and I left the pumpkin patch for home.  I was happy to be able to spend the morning with Jamie!

Back To Blogging

Since I reached my limit on Blogger for the amount of pictures and things to post, I decided to go a different direction with blogging.  Instead of just starting a new blog, I decided to buy agroupofstahrs.com and go with wordpress.  So here we go…

On this first day of Fall, I’m going go back over the summer of some events that I didn’t get around to posting on the other site.  First Jeremiah hiked two fourteeners this summer.  Actually the hikes were in a week of each other!  So here are a few from Mount Massive…

And Mount Harvard which Flat Stanley tagged along…

Also here are pictures from our visit with Viann and Vic.  It’s been six years since we saw Viann last.  It was nice to finally meet her husband.  Jacob was quite fond of Mr. Vic… 

The girls took turns reading to Viann.  The funny thing was that the last time we saw Viann, Jamie was 2 months old!

So that’s it for today.  You can go back into the archives of the old blog if you like until I figure out what I am going to do with that one.
