B & B

Dave and I have had the opportunity to stay at this amazing bed and breakfast over the years, as well as our good friends, Todd and Kaysie (though never at the same time).  We were so sad to hear that they had decided to close the B&B after the covid shutdown, but the owners did decide to rent out the house on Vrbo.  We debated booking the place for a weekend, but in the end, decided to go for it.  I am so glad we did--it was an amazing weekend full of fun, laughs, games, golf-carting, and so many memories.












Brayden was a good sport for a charcoal face mask on our last night


Lots of games of Carbles were played!

Sadie and Ryder got along well for the weekend!

Abby loved driving the golf cart


The kids rode the golf carts for hours!

We went for a paddleboat ride around the little lake








Yummy, easy meals!



Dave and Todd enjoyed the reading material on the bookshelves













We joined the kids and rode around some of the trails

Pumpkin Patch

It's been quite a few years since we've visited Barten's Pumpkin Patch, but this year, we didn't make it down to my Uncle Steve's to pick out pumpkins.  We enjoyed a quiet evening after school picking out pumpkins and checking out the fun activities!

Girls' weekend

Over Dozinky weekend, we had Miriam, Mara, Sarah, Gavin, and Caleb up for "Girls' Weekend".  The girls walked in the parade, so we went to that, then visited the candy store and the ninja park in Jordan.  On Sunday, we also took a trip to the park near our house and had a surprise visit from the ice cream truck.  Lots of fun family time, but the weekend went way too fast!
