"Joy is not the absence of trouble but the presence of Christ." William Vander Hoven
As for me and my blog we will serve the Lord :)
I wanted to use our
pumpkins today and tried everything I could think of to cut the darn things in half! I was going to end up loping off an arm or something before I was going to make a dent in these pumpkins! Mike laughed at me until he tried it too---and he didn't have any better luck. He even pulled out the hatchet knife :) We soon decided there was only one way to do this-----so to the garage we went :)
Those pumpkins were no match to the table saw!
Eeewww---pumpkin guts :)
The horses loved the girls feet and kept trying to nibble them, especially Lucy's. Maybe they looked like apples to a horse :)
Nap time :) The woman who gives Lucy horse lessons says that when horses feel very safe, that is when they will lay down, and for a horse this place had to be like Heaven :)
Horses everywhere!!!
It was too wet to go riding since it rained while we were there, but we had a great time just hanging out with the horses!
I wish that when I lived in VA I had more of an appreciation for history. I remember some things from being here before, but not much honestly. I got so much more out of it this time :)
The girls posing with Thomas Jefferson.
Lucy trying out the copy machine that Jefferson always used. Not at all a comfortable contraption!
Our little architect :)
This would have been a much prettier picture had we not been in a parking lot :) The colors were just so vibrant!!
This whole area wasn't here last time Mike and I were here, so that was a real treat :) They have an awesome kids center now and theatre and huge gift shop (but no penny
squisher!!!)
The kids started loading on the life jackets and they thought this was hilarious :)
I thought Lucy was going to wet her pants she got to laughing so hard!
As all goofy times are bound to do---this one ended up with a fun filled wrestling match.
