Fall Break

So, this year, I was all geared up for Fall Break with the kids. Chad was going to be gone Elk hunting, so it was to be all me. I made sure that I wasn't scheduled to work, and I bought some fun activities for the boys and I to do together at home. About 1 week before Fall Break was to begin, my mother-in-law (Cheryl) called and asked me if she could come take the boys to Ohio with her for the week.

I don't have any pictures of their fun trip to Ohio, but I do know that a great time was had by all. Cheryl took the boys to stay with her sister on a farm where the boys had tons of room to run and play. Chad's cousin Doug made a trip out to see them as well and took the boys to see his old tree house and then wrestled with them for hours. He is a big guy who can handle my boys and is tall enough to be able to pick them upside down by their feet. On Friday of Fall break, Cheryl took the boys on a 3 hour car ride to the FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME! Any of you who know my Dylan know that this is a trip of a lifetime for him. I am convinced that he will become a sports broadcaster someday:)

While the boys were gone and I was home alone, Chad was Elk hunting with another buddy of his, Chris. Chad did not get the opportunity to kill an Elk this year (thank goodness for me), but Chris did. Chad got to help skin it and says that he had a great time. Here are a couple of picutres from his trip....

You probably can't see it, but in the picture on the right there is a squirrel on the branch in the center of the picture. Good thing that squirrel hunting season is over.
