Robb was on vacation last week and we were ALL recovering from a cold so we took the week off from any "formal" school work. We did read almost every day and squeezed in a trip to the library. Mainly we just enjoyed our week with daddy and had a few "field trips". Monday we all went to our first circus. Grandpa R. came too. Lili dove into her cotton candy that grandpa bought her. Gabi even had a taste.
The elephants were huge and so close to us as they made their way into the ring. Lili said her favorite parts were the acrobats and the clowns. Lili also enjoyed popcorn and came home with a circus coloring book. We had a great time!
Tuesday we took a trip to the County Line Apple Orchard in Hobart. We normally don't go this early in the season. Boy have we been missing out! The trees were bursting with sweet apples!! We want a honey crisp apple tree for the back yard.
Lili even got in there and helped with the picking. We went to the kids farm at the apple orchard too. Lili played in the little kid's barnyard where she shoveled hay and rode on a kid sized tractor.
They have many animals and some you are able to feed. Here are two ponies.
And the cutest baby bunny!! For the past several weeks Lili has been putting on her own performances of the three little pigs. We were excited to see this pig area with the houses made of straw, sticks and bricks and don't miss the big bad wolf behind the houses.
One evening we walked to the park. This is one of Lili's favorite parks. The playground is a giant pirate ship. Note the spongebob pirate hat. She loves to go on treasure hunts. Aye Matey!!
What did we do with some of those yummy apples? We made our first homemade apple pie!!
Does that look good or what!? The filling came out a bit running but it didn't matter since it was so yummy.
Our vacation week was quickly coming to an end :( Friday we went to the Midwest Zest Fest here in Highland. $2.50 per ride for the kiddie rides....unreal! Lili went on a few rides and Gabi hung out on me in our moby wrap and to finish off the evening we had ice cream, yay!
Throughout the week Robb and Lili built this lego star wars replica together. Lili had the best time hanging out with daddy during the week.
Time to get back to our normal routine. I'll be back next week to share what we are up to.
