Camping/ pumpkin patch

                                                 Evan took the girls to a park for a picnic!

                                            A Cane's picnic; they thoroughly enjoyed it!

                                           Can't go to the park without playing some ball!

                       Took the girls to their 1st pumpkin patch of the year, and of course, had a blast!

 

                                           Ella loved this cutie guy!

                                      Can you spot the girls?

                                    We went camping in Kentucky and our 1st stop was a  Cavern Cave tour.

                                            All natural formations, pretty cool!

                                       Eva is helping set up the tent!

  Auntie decorated for the girls for Halloween, they loved them! We even got to bring them home and are now watching over our garden!

                                                Look it at our puppies!

                                 The best part of any fire: SMORES

                                         Leftover sparklers, they are fun in any season; thanks auntie and uncle

  Mommy and daddy kidnapped a turtle or became heroes and saved a turtle off the road whichever the girls got a new friend for the day.

           We donated our turtle to the Heritage center which also had other turtles. He was happy to be around other turtles!

                                                Kayak time!

                    The girls both took a ride and enjoyed it; mostly because it was so relaxing for them!

                                            We went up the river a little bit; not too far because we saw the worlds largest snake in the water prior to getting in. Actually, I missed it and then Evan showed me a picture it and there would have been no way in hell I would have got into that water.

                   Auntie also bought the girls fake nails so before we left we all put them on, and Eva was being spooky with them.

Eva on the way home; they were both so tired out! Camping was relaxing for us and tiring for them; perfect!

 

 

We had a fantastic week; our friend from college that Evan played BB came to visit on Tuesday evening. Friday night we took the girls to a pumpkin patch and the weekend was spend in Kentucky camping with aunt Becky and uncle David. Another plus was that I didn't have to work any overnights! But back to reality this week, I have 2! We left Saturday morning and arrived 3.5 hours later at Cavern Caves. We took a cave tour and learned a lot a bout bats/caves. We then made it to our campground (in the middle of nowhere-no cell reception/internet) and the girls were happy to run. There were playgrounds/swings throughout the campground and plenty of dogs to pet. :o) We were in a perfect location; next to the bathroom and across the street from the park. The girls just told us where they were going and we could always see them. It feels amazing to have 2 independent little girls. We enjoyed the cool evenings with a fire and had light shows with sparklers, LED head lamps, and glow sticks. But the girls were ready for bed by 8 and fell right to sleep in the camper, they got to sleep in the warmth while Evan and I slept in the tent. Uncle David let me borrow his mummy sack that kept me plenty warm so it worked out just fine! We had a great time and were happy to still have warm days and beautiful scenery to enjoy. Thanks auntie and uncle for letting us borrow a lot and driving farther than us to meet us for the weekend. We all had a great time!

 

Ella's favorite part of the weekend: 4 little dogs chased our car off someone's property!

Eva's favorite part: Eva loved playing outside all day at the park and playing with turtles.
