This one deserves a close up shot. (consume credit: once again my resourceful mother is the heroine of the day.)

This is Caleb’s friend, Adam, whose family came over for lunch on Sunday. Don’t be fooled by the sweater vests! They are wild Indians together in the nursery.

North Georgia

Today the kids and I and a friend enjoyed an outing to Blue Ridge and Elijay.

What’s a visit to a quaint mountain town with out a little fudge?

The kids took turns viewing Amicalola Falls through this telescope, then we hiked to the base of the falls to view it up close.

Pumpkin shopping at Burt’s farm.

Side note: Meg and Nate have accumulated a little money through allowance, acorn collecting, birthday gifts, etc. It is entertaining to see how they handle their newly acquired wealth. Among other things, today they funded their own telescope viewing, purchased their own pumpkins, and (they’re currently on a benevolent kick) also bought mini pumpkins for Kate and Caleb.

Nature Walk

On Tuesday Meg and Nate presented their Roman speeches at a homeschool group Social Studies Day. Then we took a picnic lunch to the Autrey Mill Nature Preserve and walked through the woods. Nate was stepping across some stones in the creek when he looked down and saw a snake. I’m not sure but I think it looks similar to pictures of a Northern Water Snake (non-venomous).
