Since I became a SAHM, we (my son and I) have decided that we will
take 1 fun field trip a week! This "1 fun field trip" is not written in
stone, but is something we do together which we both enjoy, and is out
side the normal weekly outings (grocery store, play dates at a friends
house, the gym, T@rget, Wal-M@rt, etc). Whether it be to the bouncy
place (a place similar to M@nkey Joes), to the local farm to pick
Strawberries, M@nkey Joes, an indoor play place, etc, and sometimes
lunch follows our Field Trips.
Honestly,
my favorite field trip we go on is to the local farm! Right now is
Strawberry season, and Sylas has completely enjoyed picking them! We
have had to work on not eating them right away and even not eating them
off the ground! Also at this farm there is a little area where they
have a couple of pigs, a goat, a sheep, a donkey, and sometimes they
have a couple of ducks which swim around in a wheelbarrow!!
Another
Field Trip we have enjoyed is going to the "bouncy place". This is a
picture on the right is of me going down the slide with one of our
little buddies! She wasn't so sure about going down the BIG slide
herself, so I went down with her! There were a few other mom's there
with us on this field trip; but I was the one who got in and went down
the slide with the kiddos! And I have to add, this was right less than 2
weeks after having a baby!
These two pictures on the left, are of Sylas and his little cousin MA. I use the terms "little cousin" lightly,
she is only 4 months younger than him, but might be a teeny tiny bit
taller than he is~ anyway, these two are going to be trouble together!
They both are little dare devils! She is the youngest of 4 children,
where as Sylas is the oldest of 2! They
just
followed each other everywhere! The bottom picture is them actually in
a bouncy thingy which is for children at least 5 years old! There was a
sign that said something to the extent of "if you can't climb in here
by yourself, then you shouldn't get in here". Well, some other
completely random mom PICKED THEM UP and PUT THEM IN!! Umm.. HELLO...
can she read?? Apparently NOT! Reason being, is that is was like an
obstacle course. I had to climb in after them to help them through a
portion of it, and then came to this climb~at the top of there is a huge
slide down! It was much steeper than the slide in the above picture on
the right!
Here are a couple pictures from a couple "family field trips"!!
Here are a couple pictures from a trip to the mall!
Jimmy Buffett 2012
I do believe this was one of the first times, I have had a blast with this girl!! This would be my older brothers wife. I just *love* her!! (I couldn't say that 15 years ago)
We made our way over to the amphitheater and did a little hanging out in the parking lot. I'm sad this was the only picture I took, but if you have never been to a Buffett concert, it is just ONE HUGE PARTY!!!
