In honor of Columbus sailing the ocean blue the public schools closed their doors and gave us the opportunity to spend the day together as a family. We started with an early morning jaunt to the duck pond to feed the ducks....well, at least we THOUGHT we would feed the ducks. In fact, the vicious seagulls hogged all the bread! Bad seagulls! We then trollied on over to the park and played for about an hour. Back home for lunch and a brief (40 minute) nap for the boy. Then we played in the leaves outside. 'Cause that's just what you are supposed to do in Fall. And we rounded out the days activities with a trip to the apple orchard. (No photos 'cause Bzr took the camera to soccer for some funny bloopers.) I believe I was just a bit more exhausted then they were by the end of the day but the kids went to bed without any fuss at all. No extra trips to the bathroom, requests for more stories, attempts to get more snuggles, calling for a drink...just peace and quiet. SO worth all the effort.
