Fall Break October 2009

For fall break we decided to get out of town and visit Russ and Deborah down in Texas. They were nice enough to let us crash at their house for the week. We were able to worship with them on Sunday, see the Fort Worth Zoo and visit the State Fair of Texas. The girls also did some shopping while the boys went golfing. We had such a great time!

This was Natalie's first kindergarten field trip. They visited Hatcher Family Dairy. The kids wondered why we couldn't milk any of the cows. The farmer said we could, if we got there at 5:30 in the morning! No takers on that one.

Happy 5th Birthday, Natalie!!

Natalie got to celebrate twice--once at school and then at home. I had a chance to use my decorating skills to make bunny cupcakes for school and a turtle cake for our celebration at home. Good eats and fun times!

What kind of fun can you find on a Tuesday night in Nashville? A Jonas Brothers concert, of course! Some wonderful friends of ours had extra box seats to the show and invited us to come. So, after school, we took the kids up to the big city, but didn't tell them what we were doing. They were a little confused walking downtown but once they got inside and saw their friends, they were excited. Natalie and her little friend Hannah were more excited by the seats and the refreshments. Clarissa loved making signs. It was the loudest concert I have ever been to. Thankfully we could go inside the box and shut the doors. We were also thankful for the fact that school was cancelled for the rest of the week due to the swine flu. We could all sleep in!!
