Piglets, Messes, and Surprises!

We decided to take advantage of the warm weather while it lasted. The family picture was taken at the Apple Cider Mill. We went to the old McDonald Farm in Sackets Harbor. It was a blast! They had miniature golf, bunny trails, horse rides, corn mazes, pumpkin patch, bounce houses and a Wizard of Oz Hay ride in which we got to feed some enormous cows at the end. The kids were exhausted by the time we left.

This picture cracks me up! If you look close see what Britynn is doing in the background.

These are some pics I took back in October... I love to look at these pictures. The kids were so thrilled to play with daddy again! This is at the Richard hills community center just a stones throw from us. It is nice because they have an indoor play area so the kids don't go crazy in the winter.

I cant believe it has been four months since my last post!!! I feel guilty but at the same time I don't. We are finally a family again and the last thing I have wanted to do is take anytime away from that. We have been enjoying every minute with Adam. The kids are thrilled for him to be home. Since it has been so long I figured I would just try my best to summarize the past few months.

Before we left for New York we spent a good amount of time hanging out at the Arizona science center. This science center has three levels so you can easily spend several days exploring all that it has to offer.

Waiting with much anticipation to see daddy for the first time in over 8months! The kids were up till about 1:30 that night. It took Britynn a little bit to warm up to daddy, but by the time we got in the car she was already making flirty faces with him. Thank goodness for skype, he remained a familiar face because of it.

OH THE JOY!! It seemed this day would never come

Our gift for Adam's homecoming was a jar of milk, They didn't have milk in Afghanistan

Adam decorated the house for kenidi's party while Grandma and Grandpa Clement took the kids to the indoor playground. The turnout was great kenidi had about seven kids from her class come. We played games and did face painting and watched a strawberry shortcake movie and popped popcorn. It was a lot of fun, but a bittersweet end to the day since Bob and Marianne had to leave right after all the celebration was over.

I don't care about this big lion suit anymore, I have candy Now!!

Kenidi finally got her pillow pet

We visited the Ives retirement home in watertown for Veterans day, We had a nice visit with the veterans and gave them some yummy lion House rolls. We are now volunteering there and have had a good time getting to know the people there.

As we drove into the Walmart parking lot we noticed seagulls flying onto the parked cars I thought it would be fun to feed them and they all went nuts!
