Field Trips & Fall Activities

Our first field trip was to the zoo on September 29, 2017. It was with Jen, Grace, Kaden and Nana.

Everyone was into the map

It was still warm for the end of September, but we enjoyed the day together.

walking on stilts was hard

We got to visit the fire station in Port Allen for their friend, Aaron's birthday.

We toured the building and they showed us all the tools on the trucks and how they are used.

They even put on all the gear that they would wear in a fire

Lastly, they each got to use the water hose

It was a fun and educational party.

We did the annual pumpkin patch in Hammond.

So many activities to do and it was a pretty day.

Getting buried in corn

They loved the corn maze this year. The boys were hiding and going through the stalks and they shucked corn.

picked their pumpkins before leaving

We played putt putt golf with friends one night.

The course was not designed well and Hudson was going after balls in the water. He slipped and skinned his knee and his shoes were soaked!

The kids had fun, but it was a little crazy!

The Veteran's Day parade in Port Allen

We are thankful to the Veterans for their service and we honor them

The kids got way too much candy!!!

He has to do 8 hours of driving with 2 hours being at night. I waited in the parking lot until he left. We did pretty good waiting while he was gone, but we kept checking Life 360. He said it was fine, I thought he was a little nervous. Afterward, he said it was no big deal. I guess we shouldn't be surprised, since he has been driving off road vehicles since he was young. We spent Valentine's Day at home and made pizzas. My birthday was on a Friday and I had work. Josh surprised me with an orchid for my desk. I had lunch with some of my family at Albashas.
