Frisbee Golf

The resort we stayed at had a frisbee golf course on the ski slopes!  It was such a pretty time of year to be there, the leaves were just starting to turn.

We played the course in 2 days, frisbee golf with 5 kids and a stroller not meant for the rugged outdoors was a bit of a workout!!  I think Steve many have carried the stroller more than he pushed it.



He gets his good form from his daddy.

Greta dodging an oncoming frisbee!

These 2 want to ski sooooooo bad!

Hanging out

We did lots of this in Virginia.

Everybody loved hanging out on the king bed

Also a hit was the bathtub/jacuzzi



Ice cream and My Little Pony Memory.  Dream vacation here, folks.

Family Time

We returned yesterday from a wonderful week away as a family.  A very dear family in our church blessed us by giving us their week at a timeshare resort in Massanutten, VA.  I don't know that our family has ever had a week away, just us.  It was so, so nice.  We did lots of swimming, taking walks, hanging out on the playground and other fun things.

I must say I am a bit sad to be home this morning with my husband back at work.  It was a treat to have him all to ourselves this week!!

I didn't take a ton of pictures this week, but I do have a few to post.  Here we all are on the porch of our little condo.

Youth Group

It is hard to believe that my oldest is now old enough to attend youth group.  It has been such an exciting transition for her.  The first day, Claudia and her good friend dressed alike.  To say they were excited is a severe understatement!!

Ugh...

Last weekend I was doing pictures for a family.  I took them to a spot just down the road from us that I have used many times before.  As we were shooting I saw a woman walking towards us.  I assumed she was being friendly and I greeted her with a cheerful, "Hello!"  Her response was:

"So, did I miss you knocking on my door to ask permission to be in my field?"

Me: Stunned silence.  I may have squeaked out an "Um....."

Lady: "So do you have permission to be in my field?"

Me: "No, we do not."

Lady: "So you are leaving now?"

Me: "Yes, we are leaving."

And we hightailed it out of there as soon as we could!!  I was so stunned, flustered, embarrassed.  It honestly never occurred to ask someone for permission to take pictures in their field.  I understand if it is someone's house or yard.  A field?  How do I even know who a field belongs to?  Guess I am a little too naive.  And it also looks like I need to rethink some of my locations that I shoot at!

I took this picture just before the lady came.  How cute are they??
