Road Trip- Day 5 The Hike

Most of the kids and grown ups were feeling very adventurous today so Dane and Kortney found the perfect place to take a family friendly hike into the local forest.

I say, “most” because it was going to be farther than I could walk, so I opted to stay in the car and mind my own business…meaning…I was going to stare out at a pretty little empty field…

and crochet. It was perfect!!

Here is what theĀ  more active folks saw…

Thanks guys for sharing the pictures with me! It was almost like being there …without the hiking.

Heh, heh.

Road Trip- Day 4 Monday

Since you can’t really come to this neck of the woods without finding some dang good food, we hunted out a RIB place called Penguin Ed’s.

No earthly idea what the penguin thing was all about…

but I digress.

After lunch, it was here that we had to say good-bye to April’s family.Ā 

They made a fast trip here and had to make an even faster trip back home.

Ahhhh…the busy life of a family of soccer players.

We even found a stray cat that came to say…

good-bye.

Safe travels Rosenthals! See you at home.

On the way back from lunch, we took a detour to see Dane’s school.

He showed us where some of his classes are.

The stadium…

the fan store…

the fountain–seriously guys–what is with all the HOGS?!!! Why would you pick that?! Haha.

We even saw the creepy old…

people-who-shall-remain-nameless House Museum.

Museum?! Really?

Blaugh.

It’s always better for this mama heart to be able to picture where my cute, wandering boy is hanging out…

if he’s not going to be with me, that is.

He has his nerve.

Heh.
