Beginning Our Journey

A Day at Pymatuning with just our family. It was nice :)

We had a very educational day today.

Justin decided we should take the kids to Pymatuning to feed the fish. So off we drove 1 and a half hours to feed the fish. I had a TON of bread saved. I give Tristan his chemo on sandwiches sometimes. But I only use an inch square. So I had lots of crusts saved in the freezer. I thought someday we would feed ducks or birds with them. It came in handy today.

First we went to the spillway and feed the fish/ducks/sea gulls our half bag of bread. Then we hurried over to the educational building as they were closing in a half and hour. That was so fun there. They had tons of stuffed animals for the kids to see and enjoy. And other touch and feel stations.
I had to laugh at my mischievious little son. Signs said what you could and could not touch. Well daddy told Tristan not to touch these certain displays. Alyssa and I walked away, Tristan eyed us leaving and HAD to touch. He forgot daddy was behind him. He is such a stinker.

We left the educational building and went on a nature walk. Then we went back to the spillway to feed our whole bag of bread to them. It was neat that we happened to see Justins aunt, uncle and family there!

After that we went and found a picnic table and grill by a play center and had a little cook out.
That was really nice. Then we ended the day with Brewsters Icecream! And the nice thing about the day - besides gas, is we only had to buy a $3.50 bag of charcoal. We brought the rest from home. And even our icecream was free because the kids got babies. Tristan was under 40 inches. So his was free and we asked what we owed for Alyssa and the girl said - it is just a baby. You do not owe anything! Yay for us! And thank you to them!

Here is a picture bombard of our day.

Can you make tracks.

What is in the box by sense of touch (but of course the kids had to pull it all out)

Do NOT TOUCH... Justin and Alyssa are just pointing... Tristan... is touching.

Whos skin is it?

Who's Skull?

On our Nature Walk - Excuse the hair! Dh had the TOP off the jeep and I had hairspray and mousse in from church! It was a mess!!!

Back to feeding the fish/ducks/sea gulls

Then on to a picnic

The End

HOW NICE!!! We went to the zoo yesterday! It was SO fun seeing the new babies there and seeing Ariana enjoy the zoo for the first time. Arabella also acted like she was never there before too. Plus the animals were so playful yesterday it was nice to just go and be with Lee. Glad you had a fun day....and your hair didn't look bad at all!

Looks like a fun day!

I'm beginning to think we need to look for a new place to have our HS board. WX seems to be on permanent failure. What's it been? Two, three weeks now? Ugh.

The photos of your family having fun is so cool.

Thank you for stopping by - I know what you mean about the whole dex thing and the hardest is that now that the kids don't particularly look sick (I mean they're getting their hair back and everything), people won't always understand about the tears, the clinginess, the grumpiness, the constant interest in food and the constant "I'm hungry" and not just for anything, no they have cravings... :-) We've even had family accusing us that we just let our daughter get away with stuff and that we don't treat her like other people treat their kids, but then granted this did come from a family member who doesn't particularly follow our blog regularly.

Lucky it is only 5 days a month now and not 28 like right in the beginning.

Hang in there.

How is the preganancy going? It is so exciting!

Fist, why is that every picture of yourself you have to appologize for the way you look. I think your hair looks great!

Second, I haven't been there since I was a little girl! Looks like a lot of fun. My family went camping there and I know my mom went out night fishing with some friends. At least I think it was there. (Man that would have been 20+ years ago! Yikes)
