Last weekend we decided to take a "Day Trip"! We love our day trips around here. That could mean many things. A trip to the zoo, a day at the park or fishing. Really we never know what daddy has up his sleeve.
This is our first day trip this year and we decided to go fishing! We had a blast! We left right after church. OK I shouldn't say right after church because a lot has to go into these day trips. =) They usually are not planned so that means mommy isn't exactly ready to go all day away from home with four kids. I am getting better at the spur of the moment times though and it is definitely worth it. So we got home and we packed our van.
~ cooler, full of food and drinks
~ fishing gear, 6 poles and 3 tackle boxes
~ sun block
~ insect repellent
~ 3 bikes
~ extra clothes
~ sweat shirts
~ 3 bags full of who knows what!
~ books to read on the way
~ Cd's to listen to on the way
ARE YOU TIRED YET =)
~ charcoal, lighter fluid and lighter
~ tube and syringes for Taylors feeding tube
~ first aid kit ( I am actually not this handy. However my children are always ready for an emergency! They have everything you would need if we caught on fire while we are gone or just a minor boo boo. Their first aid kits are filled with things they learned from a boy scout book that has to always go on our day trips..which reminds me....
~ Bird identifying book
~ Tree identifying book
~ Insect identifying book
and last but not least Poisonous Animals book! =)
I think people know we home school from a mile away. Its quite funny to see the looks we get and the comments. For some reason people think that we either don't know what caused our "many children" or we are "crazy". =)
Anyway then we are off. But first there is the stop at the gas station and the store to get more food and a football! =)
Even though it takes a lot to get us there I wouldn't change it for the world!
Here are some pictures of our fun day. Enjoy! =)
This place is beautiful!
Aww aren't we a cute couple!
