Out and About & Around the House

J's fall break was the week before Olivia's.  However, he did get to go hiking with neighbor John up to Max Patch.

 Cool views and trails.

 Elias looking through books right after he woke up from nap.

 J making cookies with the kids.

 Elias helping dad hammer the van...well, ok, J was fixing it Elias was hammering the driveway.

 Have I posted one like this?? Well, this is the new norm. He gets really excited to eat cereal w I&O so he can do this. During the week he often eats after them and still gets baby oatmeal....no slurping there.

 Playing the tablet together.  

 J had tickets to the Rainforest Zoo in Sevierville.  

 These guys were fun.  They chased J all over the place as he ran back and forth and back and forth and back and forth.... they even pounced on the window a few times. Very funny to watch.

 We fed "Australian goats"...they looked the same as American goats. I thought it was cute that Elias was sucking his thumb while I attempted to make him feed the goat.

 We are notorious for picking up all the dropped food below dispensers in order to feed animals.

 This guy made me laugh.  It's a chicken.  Reminds me of big bird.

 At G&G's house making marshmallow guns.

 'Perfecting the blow' while waiting for dad to finish.

 Elias did NOT want to follow dad's directions to make the gun.  He much preferred the football goal that Grandma made.

 We had to eventually put all the dogs inside because they kept eating all the ammunition.

 Then we made a fire.

 Farmer Hickox

 The kids played in the sand for a bit. A little chilly.

 He still does not know how to climb in or out....yea!
