Has it really been almost a year?!?

I'm not even going to try to recap the last 10 months.  There's just no way.  I am going to try to better about putting pictures here instead of Facebook.  Maybe.  Best laid plans & all that...

Anyhow, here are a couple of pictures from our trip to Great Wolf Lodge, the weekend of August 4/5.  We didn't take any pics in the water park, but be assured that we ALL had fun!  The arcade was an even bigger hit than it was last time (especially with Granna giving out the money to play with and Ethan winning a bloomin' ton of tickets to give to the boys to 'spend'.)

 (Of course, Glenn remembered to pack his grumpy pants...)

Today (8/9) I persuaded the boys to let me take their pictures on their favorite "run up and down and give Mom a coronary" hill at church.  I can't believe they've gotten so big!!

Libraries aren't just for books, you know.

Bernheim Forest

Today, we went to Bernheim Forest for a few hours.  Perfect day for it!!

 Climbing in the Possumhaw Holly Trees

 "Cluster III" sculptures

 Holly trees.  Lots and LOTS of Holly trees!

 I think this was the first time I've ever seen a yellow Holly tree.  I loved them!  (There are orange ones, too, but I wasn't as smitten with those.)

 Loved this carving in the middle of one of the ponds

 My boys

 Looking for (and throwing leaves at) fishies

 "Aww, Mom!" 

 I told Glenn to smile, but not make a goofy face.  This is what I got.  I can't look at this and NOT giggle. 

 "Climbing" up a hill

 Glenn loves his Daddy

 Sean was (and usually is) all about jumping off of rocks.  And anything else, really.

 My boys, again.  Love them all so very much.
