Our adventure to Pioneer Day!

One Saturday morning I took the kids to 'Pioneer Day' at the Timucan Preserve.  I didn't know much about it since this was the first year for the event and had just read about it in a flyer.  Greg was home sick, and I decided to be brave and take the kids solo.   And I say "our adventure" because we had a little trouble finding the right spot  :) .....and after going to the wrong place, we ended up waiting on the Ferry going to the other side of the bay, while it poured down rain on our car.  Langley was singing her 'rain dance' song in her seat and saying prayers since I only had the little kitty umbrella for the 3 of us!   In the middle of it all I had contemplated plan B!  But luckily all our singing and praying worked, because the skies broke for a couple hours while we were there with few sprinkles on us!  I just loved it.  Reminded me of my girl scout days. :)   They were cooking food in big cast iron pots, making tools, dying cotton, spinning thread, and churning butter.
Oh, and I forgot to mention shooting guns!  While we ate our picnic lunch...which didn't go over so well with the kids.  We had to move!  :)

Everything with Daddy!

Our household is slowly getting back to reality here!  We definitely lived in our own little bubble for a few weeks after Greg's homecoming.  We kept it pretty low key, just enjoying ordinary family times.  So nice!  There has been a lot of throwing around, tickling, squealing, shoulder rides...

After the ship food for 7 months, Greg has been anxious to get to all his favorite restaurants!  Here we are at our favorite Angie's sub shop.
 
One night we set up a firepit in our backyard and Langley and Greg camped out.
I was amazed that Langley slept the whole night out in the tent!  Made her daddy proud! :)  They came inside for a pancake breakfast...the luxury of backyard camping!  Not sure why Langley is naked.  lol.
 We spent a morning at the zoo!
 Riding the train.
 It was elephant day!  They were doing all there tricks and had a special craft for the kids.
 Yay--for goodtimes with Greg and 'Daddy' home!
