Okay, lots of catching up to do. I went to Maryland for 2 weeks and left Tarquennis home with the kids. I think they had a pretty good time but they were glad I came home to cook for them! Our Home Depot has a day for kids every month or so. They have a project for them to work on, a helicopter flies in, the firemen and policemen are there with all their gear, plus there is cotton candy and a big blow-up slide. It happened while I was gone so Dad took them all.

Before I left we got to go camping. It's hard to find a good night for camping here because it doesn't cool down at night and it's miserable to be outside in that all night. But we had a great weekend and I wanted to do something fun with the kids before I left them for 2 weeks. We went with some friends of ours and we all had a great time!

This picture of Emma and Zack was taken while I was gone - I just thought it was too cute! Same with the one of Zack in Dad's boots.

The weekend after I got home we celebrated Emma's birthday. We went to Huber Farms again to pick pumpkins. After that we went to a place called Henry's Ark which is an animal rehabilitation and rescue place. There are animals running around loose all over the place. I have pictures of them but I will have to put up another post cause I'm over my limit with pictures. Anyway, the kids got to feed them and got bitten a few times. So much fun!

Here we are in the corn maze looking for the 13 scarecrows. The boys had a great time here.
