Fall Break.

Now that Tucker is in school, we are a slave to the district school schedule.

A little bit ago, we had our Fall Break, or UEA as I used to call it, and we had a great few days. It was such a good time to spend together as a family, I only wish all of life could be as wonderful as this. Here is the rundown of some of our adventures.
Thursday:
With lots of help from Grams, began cutting out Tuckers’ Halloween Costume (more on that later):


Lunch with Dad at his work:


(Where Tucker rediscovered the ‘dirty dishes/tray’ machine)

Playing with Belle, Ikey, and a visit to see sweet baby Eleanor:


Dinner with Aunt Amy:

Off to the Cabin:

Where Tucker remembered and re-visited his love of grapefruit, (as soon as we arrived, he insisted on eating the whole thing right then)

While at the cabin, we had many grand adventures (we were glad the Great Hunsakers and Hunsakers were there, so we could spend time with them too, the boys now are requesting to play with the big Hunsakers often):
Friday:
The boys helped Great Grandpa, un-dam the creek, so they could float their boats down. Tucker told me later, he thought the beavers would be mad about it. I betcha he’s probably right! 🙂

Hiking, and looking for supplies to build a fairy house, (Which I should have gotten a picture of, oops!)


Tucker found the burrs, and had them all over his entire body,


Four Wheeler Rides:


and thanks to the help of the Hunsaker Cousins, (who kept my children entertained) and my sweet hubba, I got started on sewing Tucker’s Halloween Costume. Here is the zipper. My first one that I’ve done correctly and I’m grateful for my Aunt Rosemary and My grandma’s help and guidance to complete it!

Saturday:
Another great day at the cabin,
Saturday Morning Cartoons,

Building and floating ships,


Building a bridge,

Hot tub fun,

Tucker learning to play chess,

And again, I spent some time behind the sewing machine, sewing Tucks Costume.

There is nothing like the refuge of the mountains, away from the internet, phone calls, and etc. To enjoy time together as a family, and getting projects done! Hurray for long school vacations.
