We went out to the lakes for a couple hours yesterday before bedtime. There are so many lakes on base it's almost ridiculous. They're all stocked with different kinds of fish and they're surrounded by wide, well cared for dirt paths. I was trying to get some shots for our October family photo hunt. This month we have to find shapes. I'm happy to say I found most of them! However, I'm not done yet because I still want to see if I can find more seasonal shapes. We need to get out to a pumpkin patch this weekend. Anyway... the boys (including Bosley) all had fun, and so did I.
That looks like fun. A nice walk and some fresh air. I think the weather is probably going to start getting comfortable for you guys like it is for us. It's not like Ohio by any means, but I saw bring on the low 70's hight 60 weather. I'm so ready for it!!
What cute pictures! We would be making use of all those trails too if we were there! It's starting to get cold here so we haven't been outside a lot this week. Enjoy all that nice weather!!
Hey, I took a walk with Jake today just for YOU!! We took pictures of the trees in their current early stage of "fall". I'm gonna post them soon. Anyhow, I was in search of shapes and I found most of them, much to my suprise.
This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE. We happen to be surrounded by water. The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between. Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights. We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right? Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace. I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that. I at least want a gas stove and water heater! So, anyways. We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...
Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...
As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober! YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn. Whoops. It was fun though. OK so here's where we began our journey. You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant). All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery. We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path. The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating. I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places. There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees. We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
