Cumberland Resort, KY

We took a short trip down to a cabin in Kentucky to start our Christmas vacation.  It was a relaxing stay.  The kids enjoyed the pool table and the TV We also had fun in the hot tub.  

The hot tub was fun to relax in and play in.  It was in a screened porch which was nice and not as cold.

Hyrum, Wendy, and Sabrina particularly had a fun time pretending with each other.

 

One day we took a day trip to visit Cumberland Falls.  It is sometimes called the Niagara of the South because it is the biggest falls south of Niagara falls East of the Rocky Mountains.  It is super easy to access and has some amazing view points.  The other thing that make it famous is its Moonbow.  Only two falls in the world have a moonbow that can be predicted.  Pretty Cool!

The scenery around the falls and the Flamm Family.

Happy Birthday!!

 The celebration to commemorate my birth was lovely.  My birthday fell on Sunday, and we were actually able to go to church!  Then at home Kyle entertained the kids (they did his hair) and made a delicious (from scratch) Caesar Salad while I rested.  After dinner I was able to open gifts and receive hugs from my wonderful children.  I am glad to be another year older and have the memories from this past year.  Here is to an amazing year to come.

Thanksgiving

 Grandma and Grandpa came for Thanksgiving.  It was wonderful to have them!  The meal itself was delicious.

I did not get many pictures, but this shows what we did a lot of the time, play games.

Winterlights @ Newfields

 We went to see Winterlights at Newfields on Friday, November 20.  It was gorgeous weather, 56 degrees.  Very different from last years experience in freezing weather.  The lights were beautiful and helped us get in the holiday spirit.  We also put up some of our Christmas décor, but we are waiting 'til after Thanksgiving for the tree.

Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

This year we had Rapunzel, a witch, two Among Us characters, and Zach who watched our goodies table.  Our neighborhood really stepped up during these strange Covid-19 times.  Many had tables with prebagged goodies to pickup, so that we could maintain social distancing.  We had a great time.

Fall Break: Part I

Fall Break Vacation:  Michigan

October 11, 2020

Our first day was driving, driving, driving.  We made it to our midway stop for lunch in Holland, MI.  In the distance you can see the windmill.  A beautiful hawk came and visited while we were eating.

Our next stop was Hartwick Pines State Park, where we got to walk among our first colorful leaves, and learn a bit about the history of the logging industry in Michigan.  The park rangers must have had a great tie decorating for Halloween;  skeletons, a grave yard, and even a sasquatch were seen.   An hour later, we made it to our cabin.  It was a lovely place to lay our head, and play games.

Our first day of vacation was spent exploring some of the beauty around us.  We visited Oqueoc Falls, touched Lake Huron, walked along the Maritime Heritage Trail, and saw New Presque Isle Lighthouse.
