Happy Monday everyone! It is a rainy, dreary day here. It is also the first day back to school 5 days a week for my kiddos! They were super excited to go back to see their friends. Their district did the first 9 weeks on a hybrid schedule, and now they are going green meaning 5 days in school. Rebecca said that the school was "loud" today with everyone there.
This was after a busy weekend. Saturday, Bill and I took the kids to Honey Haven Farm in Ashland, Ohio so that Jacob could do a corn maze. He has been asking to do one and we were going to go for his birthday but since my mom was still in the hospital on his actual birthday we moved it to this past weekend.
The farm was great. There was a small petting zoo which I think was a favorite with the kids.
And then we did the corn maze. Benjamin was really good about finding his way through. I got us lost at one point! LOL I am horrible at directions. But we all made it out. Jacob said it was a lot of fun!
After we left the farm, we headed to Gorman Nature Center in Mansfield to walk the trails as the day was beautiful.
Then it was home to watch football and relax.
We did end up taking a break from football and we went to a flag display that our community was putting on at Ariel-Foundation Park. It was called "Healing Field: Honoring Heroes in Our Lives" and was a display of 500 American Flags. It was pretty neat to see and I was thankful that when I asked the boys who heroes were they said the military and police and not football players or basketball players.
When we came home we watched a couple of episodes of the new Netflix show "Sing On!" The boys, especially Jacob, love singing shows.
Overall, it was a good Saturday!
What a lovely weekend. You really do make th emost out of your family time.
ReplyDeleteOne of the positives of the pandemic is that I am trying really hard to be more intentional with what we do and one of the side effects is that we are making memories.
DeleteI think you do the most fun things with your family! I love seeing all your pictures and have really enjoyed watching your brood grow up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne!
DeleteThat really is a perfect autumn weekend, Rachel.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your kids are able to be back at school!
Enjoy these lovely fall days.
It was rainy and chilly here too. So cozy!
It was a great Saturday. My kids are thrilled to be back in school full time for however long full time lasts.
DeleteYou all do do so many things together. I am glad they like these type activities.
ReplyDeleteThey do enjoy these activities, although the boys are getting to the point where they don't like walking or hiking if that is all we are going to do. They complain before we leave but then have fun while we are doing it.
DeleteYou always take your family on the greatest sounding adventures. Some day, I'd really like to go to a corn maze. I've never been to one although they have them here every year. I've become hooked on The Masked Singer myself. A bit of fun and silliness makes a good counter to all the sad and negative news.
