Playing Catch up

I don't know what it is (well really I do) it is having 4 kids.  My poor blog has taken a back seat.  I have done so much, but I don't have the time to blog about it.  So, sad… but I am going to try to be better and hopefully after the holidays, that will happen.

Here are a few things to catch up on.

Our back to school trip as a family consisted of going to Hanford on the train!  We took Amtrak and the kids loved it.  They loved looking out the window at all the was passing them by.  Even Graham did very well, as long as he was by the window :-)  In fact, they all did well, if they were by the window.

Once we got to Hanford, we headed straight for Superior Dairy.  The whole reason for the trip was to get a "little" serving of ice cream.  As you can see, those mountainous dishes of ice cream were smalls.

That is why everyone loves this place.  The kids of course got their sherbets.  They love sherbet!

Then we had to hit the town's carousel.  Our kids also love carousels.  So, we went on a few rides and of course, they could have ridden the thing all day :-)

It was a fun little day trip and I am glad we finally did it after living her for 9 years.  It was way overdue!

Also, in October, Hannah was a part of her first (I am sure of many) school drama productions.  She was in the chorus.   The musical was called WIPEOUT.  For 2 months, we heard the singing of a cute little girl singing and saying all the parts of the play.  She could have definitely been an understudy and ready to take on anyone's part if there was a last minute need.   It was a big time commitment in the early mornings, but she loved it and it was fun to have her be a part of it all.  I have a sneaky supsicion she will be involved in more of these things for years and years to come.
