Our Trip Back Home

I am so grateful that here in Kentucky the children get a break in the fall from school for an entire week.  By the time October comes we are definitely ready for it!  We weren't sure how staying at  grandma's for a full week would be with Miss Everleigh, so we went for the last half and stayed over the weekend.  It was so good to be home and it gave Ryleigh the opportunity to go to Homecoming with her friends in Michigan.  Homecoming was also at my high school, so it is a little extra special!

 

We were also able to enjoy a fall festival with Grandma in Gibraltar. It was small, but the kids enjoyed the few activities that were available and it was nice to be outside!

Everleigh couldn't eat the cookie fast enough.

Love these pictures of Everleigh and Mom. Miss E has quite the stranger anxiety, so it was a relief to all of us when she finally decided that Grandma was ok.

Had to have a picture by this cool Coke truck!

Finn asked for a piggie!

Hunter and his cat!

Before we headed home Maddi and I took Hunter, Finn, and Everleigh to Lake Erie Metropark to play and take some photos. I definitely took living across the street from this park for granted. I never thought I would miss the smell of the lake air and the sound of the seagulls. Horses are beautiful too, but I miss the water.

  

 

 

Then there are the moments that weren't photographed...the hours mom and I spent talking and catching up, all the movies we watched, and yummy meals we had. The time I was able to spend with one of my very best friends, scrapbooking at our friend's crop (just like old times.)  These are the moments I miss the most and the ones that make me the most home sick. That being said, we are so lucky to still be close enough to drive back and stay a few days.
