Playing in the Fallen Fall Leaves

Here are some photos and video of Isaac playing in the leaves yesterday (Monday) afternoon. He had so much fun!

Watson Mill Bridge Nature Trails

It was a gorgeous fall day in Georgia so we headed to Watson Mill Bridge State Park after church this morning. It is located in Comer, Georgia which is about 30 miles east of Athens. The leaves are changing in our neck of the woods and Isaac enjoyed picking up colorful (and some not so colorful) leaves from the ground. The covered bridge was really neat; one of only 20 left in Georgia. It was a peaceful outing. On the way back, we stopped in Colbert, GA (another small town) to take a look at this old fire truck. Isaac talked about driving the fire truck during our hike, but was afraid to climb into the drivers seat when we got to the truck.

Weekend in Atlanta

We went to Atlanta for the weekend earlier this month. Donavan had a conference and I found myself strambling for things to do with a toddler in Buckhead. As we were driving towards Buckhead I noticed signs for a Bob the Builder interactive experience at the Children's Museum. Isaac was not familiar with Bob the Builder, but I mentioned it and he demanded that we go. "See Bob Builder now", "see Bob Builder now" he kept saying. I guess he thought it would be something he'd enjoy. Donavan went with us before his conference officially started.

This trip was our second to the Children's Museum. We went last year during a visit with Mimi Yarnall and weren't overly impressed. We are accustomed to the Indianapolis Children Musuem which is very large with several levels including a toddler room, water room and typically have special exhibits. The Bob the Builder exhibit made the entrance fee worth it. Puzzles with tools, rock building wall, bulldozers, plastic hammers, etc.. It was an instant hit.

Isaac and I also took a Sunday morning walk around Oglethorpe University. I love exploring college campuses and Isaac enjoyed the green space. It was a chilly morning and he really enjoyed vegging in the sun.

Getting ready for fall (and Halloween)

This week we got out some of our Halloween decorations. Most of our stuff is in storage in Macon, but I did stumble across a few things. Isaac loved putting the gel stickers on his window. They are in shapes of leaves, pumpkins, and acorns. We had the window all decoarted and I had closed the blinds so we could look at them from the outside. A few hours later I couldn't find Isaac in the main living area and it was too quiet for comfort (quiet==mischievious behavior). I went into his bedroom and Isaac was underneath the blinds rearranging the stickers. We also made some halloween crafts this morning after going to our Mom's Bible Study at the Church. Isaac really enjoyed using the glue stick to attach the eyes, etc. on the pumpkin you'll see in the photo.
