October Outings

Klee and LilE spent some time in Texas during October. One of the activities during the week was letterboxing. They have really gotten into this activity and we seem to enjoy it as well. The weather was perfect on the Thursday designated as letterboxing day. We found several boxes and spent the day enjoying several short hikes and a picnic lunch in the park.

After finding the letterbox there is some processing that occurs.

The Great State Fair of Texas

Klee and LilE got to spend a few days with us during October. One day was spent at the State Fair of Texas. I've never been one that had to visit the fair every year. In fact, it had been several years since I had gone and taken our children. However, it was really fun to go and see it through the eyes of a 4-year old. The weather was perfect and made for a great day at the great state fair. LilE was a real trooper considering all the walking and walking and walking we had to do. Cotton candy and the Ferris Wheel were two really big hits for her. Klee met up with a college friend and her two boys and we had a fun day.
