Last Wednesday was Halloween, but as usual, for WOL, we went Track-n-Treating instead. The kids go around the neighborhood of the church and pass out bags of candy which include a tract as well as some info about our church. It was different having this on the same night as regular WOL club and it definitely rushed the rest of the night, but the kids always have fun.
Thursday I met mom in Nappanee so we could go shopping. We went to Borkholder's Dutch Village. They have a large building which includes all kinds of little booths with crafty type things to antiques. There is another building that has a restaurant where we ate lunch. We both had smoked chicken salad sandwiches and peanut butter pie for desert. YUM! It was a nice day with mom. It has been forever since just the two of us have done something together. A couple of weeks ago, a tornado came through Nappanee, but thankfully it was on the other side of town from Burkholders and Amish Acres. I really only hit on one corner, but did a lot of damage to some of the RV companies in the industrial park. Also Dairy Queen and Taco Bell got pretty hard hit as well.
The last few days I have been doing some research on where we might go on vacation next year. We told Adam that he can choose where he wants to go and that will be part of his graduation gift. We have been exploring some different ideas. Washington DC, going west to Mt. Rushmore & Yellowstone, or maybe even on a cruise!! A cruise would definitely be my top choice. I didn't even really think it would be a possibility, but after doing some looking online, they aren't nearly as expensive as I would have guessed. I found one site that even includes the airfare in with the cruise prices. But they are more like last minute cruises so nothing is available for the time when we can go yet. If we are able to go I am thinking late Jan. or maybe in March. Those are the time when the rates are lowest, (Feb. is low too, but we have a lot going on in Feb, so it would be harder to plan around. Who knows where we will really end up going, but when I talked to Adam about it he voted for a cruise. Now if we can just talk Mark into it. He is saying he would rather go west, but we will see!
It looks like this week is going to be a more relaxed week than last week, mostly just the normal weekly things so far…homeschool bowling, Bible Study, babysitting, WOL, etc.
