A near perfect day...


... for some of us, that is. We were planning to go to Innsbrook and the pumpkin patch with Bebe and Grandad today but Joe woke up really sick. Soooo, the rest of us decided to head to Innsbrook and let him rest in peace and quiet (after Ben started to cry devastated that we weren't going since daddy was sick). Joe was the only thing missing, but we had a lovely day. We took a nature drive/walk and checked out the log cabin being refurbished. Ben created a checklist of the things he wanted to "spy" while we were out and he found everything on his list... a bird, red leaf, bird house, deer, etc. It was completely his idea and he was pretty pleased with himself. Then, while Nora and Bebe took their afternoon naps (just kidding, mom!) Grandad, Ben and I headed to the beach to play around in the sand and test out the radio-controlled sailboat Grandad built. It was just one of THOSE great days (and Joe is already feeling better tonight after some Gatorade and chicken noodle soup!).
