1. Thank the Lord for being the cement that holds our marriage together - 11 years we celebratedon Saturday as a family.
2. We took a walk down memory lane with the kids at Seaport Village. They enjoyed the things we used to do together before they were born, WITH us:

3. bayfront walk in the crisp evening air, hanging in a hammock, greek gyros, meetball subs, pizza, but especially
4. the moon and stars above as we counted boats (ferryboats, sailboats, police boats, sternwheeler boats) that sailed across the reflective water.
5.We'll get our alone date in too!
6.Backyard conversations while we water the plants and play in the dirt: "I need mud"(little brother) "Let's go the park and find some ant pets for my ant farm" (big brother).
7.And we did gather up ants at the park.
8. The glorious sun warmed us up this past week after last tuesday's respit from the heat - we still hit the parks and the pumpkin farm for a hay ride-
there was more water and less "chatting"

...the kids didn't seem phased by the temperatures, just the parents.
9. At an educational presentation about pumpkin life cycles, we learned that a bee has ONE day to pollinate when the flower is open, in order for it to become a pumpkin!
10. Also, that to hold a pumpkin by a stem is like holding a person by his/her hair. it hurts the pumpkin. ouch!
I thought that was so interesting how the female flower on the pumpkin vine is open only one day for pollenation! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteSeaport Village sounded like a fun time...we haven't been there in I think years!
