Peach Picking

We have been waiting for a nice day to go peach picking at a local farm, Wind Ridge Farm in Defiance.  #9 on our Bucket List.  We once again headed out early to beat the heat.










A Little Bit of Fall

Due to the hot weather and not getting enough water one of our trees in the backyard is loosing lots of leaves.  Today Kevin decided to rake the leaves and Jackson decided to help!

Fritz’s

Tonight we decided to head out for an after dinner treat!  #24 on our Bucket List
 
 

 




 
And of course we had to get Maddie a free doggie cone!

Indian Camp Creek

Today we headed to Indian Camp Creek with dad.  #13 on our Bucket List, take dad to one of our favorite parks.  We knew the rain was headed our way but got out early to try and beat it!
 Checking it out.


Throwing rocks with dad!

 Ready for the water!




 Dad had a lot of fun too.




The rain caught up with us but since we were already wet we played in the rain a little!  Unfortunately we couldn't stay too long mom and dad did not have extra clothes.

We will definitely head back soon to spend a whole day and check out the rest the park has to offer.  I think this might be one of our favorite parks to go as a family.  Since dad had such a good time as well.

To Grammy’s House We Go

Last week Jackson took a mini vacation to Grammy and Grandpa’s house for some fun.  While I got caught up on cleaning and had a little fun myself!  I went for a pedicure, got my hair done, and enjoyed a lunch date with my hubby!
