Fort Rickey

I have loved going to Fort Rickey since I was a little girl. It is a petting zoo, but so much more than a petting zoo. It's a beautiful nature walk through a maze shared with lovely animals.

This trip with my homeschool group was just for Halloween. We had a grand time. My kids especially loved it when the llama spit in my face! Oh and that lovely blue peacock? Well, that sneaky one took Audrey's sandwich right off the table! Oh but a good time was had by all and we will definitely be back.

The MOST

Another favorite place of ours to head to is the MOST (Museum of Science & Technology). And the great thing about going on a weekday? We had the entire place to ourselves! One of our favorite things there is a pendulum that you fill with sand, let it go and it makes such a pretty design. See? Henry was a big fan of the magnets and the vacuum that sucked up balls and managed to hit Audrey in the face at the other end ;)

Our first bowling day of the year

My kids love to bowl. I was never a bowler as a kid. That could be because the first time I tried to bowl, I dropped the ball behind me and sent it sailing into a group of friends I was trying to impress ;)

Anyway, our group bowls once a week and they really have a good time.
