At the farm

Calder Dairy Farm is the best place to visit- especially if you want ice cream! We've gone before when we lived in Ohio and after missing it for 5 years we couldn't wait to take a trip this summer. Well we missed visiting during summer so had to go in October. It was probably the coldest day ever but we did check out the animals real fast and then get the famous ice cream! 

We will have to come back this summer (and not in the fall!) 

Jurassic Quest

Gabe and Ellie LOVE dinosaurs! When I saw that Jurassic Quest would be in Cleveland, I thought it would be good to take Gabe as part of his birthday present. We brought Ellie too since it would be more fun to have another dino loving buddy there. (We ended up bringing Lily and Grace as well, so it was a birthday present for everyone?!? No pictures of them since only Ellie and Gabe had the VIP tickets to do the really fun stuff and Grace and Lily thought it was boring but liked getting a snow cone to pass the time). I took more pictures on my phone but here a few from my camera. Ellie and Gabe loved riding dinosaurs around... notice how Gabe ran to a "plant eater" while fearless Ellie ran to a T-Rex to ride! That girl is crazy about dinosaurs and not afraid at all (and at age 4 has seen Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies and doesn't even flinch!) 

Another warm (not freezing) December day

This year a warmer (not freezing) December day came on a weekend and we were able to squeeze in a mini photo shoot. I just wanted some quick pictures for our Christmas card and luckily I was able to find some that would be great for our card. 

When it's warm in December....

Whenever it's warm (not freezing) in December, I try to get outside and take a bunch of pictures! These were taken December 2017. I remember picking up the kids from school, rushing home to get them all dressed matchy-matchy and then race back outside to get pictures before the sun set for the night. I haven't really looked at these much until now, but I love them all!
