Apple Pickin' II

Wanted to add this pic as well. It's just cute. This is Isaac enjoying a large maple lollipop (this did not sound appealing to me at all, Isaac picked it out, and turns out was quite good). Later he dropped it on the sand and it was covered with "sprinkles". I brought it home and rinsed it off, and we still have half of it.

Today (Wed), we went to the library this morning, for story time. Isaac wasn't really into it, he'd rather play with the train set there. This would be the exact same trains he has at home (minus the track), but what ever he still enjoyed his time there.

Apple Picking

We went apple picking at Carter Hill Tuesday with our unschooling group.

This is our group on the tractor ride.

Carter Hill also has a large play area with some sand and a large play house and a bunch of cars and toys. This is Isaac and his buddy Keller.

Isaac had so much fun he slept for 3 hours after, from 3:30 when we left till just about 6:30 at night, and he still went to sleep at his usual time.

Camping this weekend

We had so much fun, despite the cold temperatures. Isaac loves being outside playing so two days of outside only and some friends to play with was perfect for him.

And for the first time this season, Isaac was interested in going in the lake, unfortunately for him, it's a little too late in the season. No Frozen babies, please. So Papa helped him play, while staying dry.

Of course he still managed to get his feet wet, too bad they were in his shoes at the time, lol.

We roasted marshmallows and made smores, we also cooked veggie dogs over the camp fire, and they came out good (you never know with veggie dogs, slightly over cook them and they turn into rocks). We were camping with three other families from our homeschooling group, and we all shared dinner and breakfast. It was so much fun, I can't wait to go next year, although perhaps a little earlier in the season, so we don't freeze as much.

NBTS

We had our Not Back to School picnic a few Mondays ago, we had so much fun. It was at Odiorne State Park, perfect place!! There was so much to do, look through the rock, play on the equipment, EAT, talk with all ouir friends.

Isaac loved it. In particular he loves the slide!!

He went up and down over 20 times, he loved it!! Infact he loved it so much that I started to seriuosly look into getting him a swingset with a slide. Found out the nice wooden ones that we like are a tad over our budget. So we decided to put getting one on hold for now. Then out of the blue Sam's mom sends me a link to Craig's list with a swing set. Perfect!! It has TWO slides, a straight one and a twirling one.

So we went to check it out yesterday and as soon as Isaac saw it he was soooo excited. He went running to it, like, "Hey! there's my swing set." He doesn't even get that excited at the park. He went right up the ladder and down the slide. It's like it was meant to be. We are going tonight to pick it up. I'm so excited. I can't wait for Isaac to see it in his yard.
