NATURE WALK & MORE

Friday was by far our busiest and most exhausting day this week. Our Joy School group went on a nature walk around Durant Nature Park. It was such a fun time. Despite the 80 degree weather, it was pretty cool in the shade. We walked about a creek and picked up different leaves, sticks, bark, and many many many gumballs along the way. Landen took about 2 steps to every gumball he picked up. The kids had a blast and it definitely wore them out. By the end Landen didn’t even want to walk up hill to the car.   IMG_7917

   After our looooong walk (ok, it wasn’t that long but it took us forever b/c of Landen). We were definitely the last ones to arrive… anyways, April brought paper, markers, paint, and glitter glue for the kids to make a collage. The kids loved it.IMG_7979IMG_7980

  Ok, so after our Nature Walk, I wanted to rest. But Mia had other ideas in mind. She has been wanting to make cupcakes for a few days now. After laying Landen down for his nap (he’ll finally sleep in his room now, without Christian or I, by-the-way… SUCCESS!) So Mia and I made cupcakes and they turned out really yummy. I’m not usually  huge fan of cake and such, but these were yum yum delicioso.IMG_8000

There’s more. Christian was outside painting our railing up to the front door and heard a loud noise. One that sounded fairly familiar. Lately, we’re heard more of these noises, especially on the weekends. Apparently, someone has opened up a business near by. What type of business you ask?… A HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE business… naturally. That noise is the fire filling up the balloon.
