Fall Break=cabin, swine flu, Mother Natures Farm, bike park, children's museum

Fall Break started out GREAT......
We went to the cabin and took a drive to Greer on Saturday between Conference sessions.  It was beautiful.

Boston loved to cross the river on the rocks
Alexa loved finding the perfect spot to take her picture
Sera spent her time exploring the trails

 they all made it to the middle with only a few wet feet

we stopped here for a delicious lunch and AMAZING desserts on the way back to the cabin   


 And then we spent 10 days like this...
Yes, the swine flu struck and it was BAD!!  Boston brought it home from school and then both the girls got it.  I felt so bad for them.  I can't remeber seeing them this sick.
Luckily this little guy only got more ear infections and kept his smile!!

After the kids and I recovered we tried to squeeze in a little fun at the end of the break.  Grandma joined us at Mother Natures Farm, picking out pumpkins, hay rides, mazes and pumpkin decorating.

We also went to the bike park one morning.  This may have been Boston's favorite activity.
He tried a LOT of new things.  His favorite was the "hills" you can see behind him.
Alexa even joined in and did a good job
Here is Frankie on Sera's bike, it was fun to watch!
The bike park was not for Sera or Beckom.  Sera fell on her first try and that was enough for her.  Maybe next time.


We also took the kids to the Phoenix Children's Museum

My Kids LOVED it.  We had such a fun day.  I think they could have spend another couple of hours there.  They loved the grocery store and the cooking.

Even with the Swine flu attack we had a fun fall break.  The weather was great, my kids were happy and now we are all healthy.  It couldn't get better than that.
