Fall Break

The Saturday before Fall Break my family and I decided to take a walk in the trail in our neighborhood.  We had a great time. 

After our walk we headed back to the house to get ready for some company.  We had a family over that lives in Marshall, TX (I think that is about 45-60 minutes from us).  They were such a nice family.  I think that Rod works for a oil field company and buys valves from Anthony (company).  Christina is a stay at home mom.  They had 3 kids roughly our children's ages.  So it was fun. In fact I was telling Christina that I was planning on doing my very first garage sale next month.  Our neighborhood is having a neighborhood garage sale.  I have never been one on garage sale's having or going.  However this seemed like a good idea.  It wouldn't hurt to at least try it.  Anyways I guess her and her family (they moved from Kansas about the same time we did) use to do garage sales all of the time.  So she said she would help me.  It should be fun :)  (If I go through with it!!)  It was so nice to meet them ~ I do hope we get together again soon :)

Monday that week was "Fall Break" the kids had a picnic in the backyard.

We then went for another walk on the trail.  This time I let the kids play and run off of the trail.  They loved it. 

I later learned from some Mommies at the school that there are copperhead snakes there hiding under the leaves.  ACK!! I was letting my kids run through the leaves and jump off of big tree's onto piles of leaves. 

As I am sure you can imagine we have not been back to the trail. . .we will see if I brave it again now that I know of the danger! 

Oh also Caylea got stung by a bumble bee for the first time that day. . .no fun :(
