Yesterday started out as a normal “home-schooling” day, only even messier because the kids had just unloaded their trash bags of school belongings and I was sending out work to my ESL students as well. Then my dad called and offered to take us on an adventure, and “oh, buddy, he didn’t have to holler twice.”
We originally set out looking for a greenhouse, but Eleo noticed we were heading in the general direction of Fall Creek Falls, and my dad had just read that they were opening up yesterday, so we went! There were some strange road closings within the park, but you could get pretty much anywhere, just circuitously. We ate lunch on the back porch of this old schoolhouse. (While we were driving-through to pick up our lunch, Eleonora joined in with her Google-Meet kindergarten classroom meeting - the wonders of technology.)
It was gorge-eous!!
The waterfalls were all flowing like crazy!
Caleb got himself a new hat at the FCF General Store.
Then as we were leaving the park (out the wrong side because of the road blocks), we saw and followed a sign to a greenhouse and ended up in some sort of Amish/Mennonite (?) community. They sold their canning lids in 24 dozen packs for $50. Now that would last you a while!
While we were in there, Eleonora lost her very first tooth! Here’s Caleb with his missing bottom teeth. I’ll have to find Josiah, too.
Anyways, their greenhouses were great, and we came home with some fun plants, so now it’s time to hop out of bed and go plant them. We are hosting a little socially-distanced birthday party for Jennifer next weekend, so we’ve got to turn this place into a show place!
Happy Saturday!
