The Discovery Center

We went to the Discovery Center in Binghamton on Friday with Nana, Amanda, Logan, and Luke. This place is amazing! I used to go to it when I was little and loved it too. It has only gotten better. It is basically a children's museum and discovery center with a mini-size Firehouse, Grocery Store, Restaurant, Post Office, Ice Cream Parlor, you name it they have thought of it. The kids loved it, well the three older did. Little Luke hung out in the frontpack and watched the other three have fun, but he seemed very happy too. More pictures to come...

Field Trip Friday

Today we joined some friends at a local farm and orchard for lots of outdoor fun!! The weather

finally felt like Fall for the first time as we enjoyed the horses, turkeys, peacocks, dogs, pumpkins, and most of all the little village. This farm has the most adorable little village for children to run and play in. I wish we could recreate it in our backyard. Oh, what fun we could have?? We have to go back during Christmas because they light all the little buildings!!! There was a school, stable, farmhouse, church, firehouse, jail, post office, farmhouse, ice cream shop and a cottage all nestled in a little grove next to a pond and surrounded by fruit trees. It was picture perfect and the views from this farm were to die for!!! Thanks to Allison for finding this place!! We spent at least three hours at the farm today and The Barefoot Princess is sound alseep in her bed right now. All the fun wiped her out! We came home with a big pumpkin and lots to tell Daddy. We will definitely be going back next month to search for a Christmas tree, see the village lit, and maybe even take a horse drawn sleigh ride!!

Oh, How We Love Fridays!!!

We love Fridays because every Friday The Barefoot Princess is able to see her friends!! I also am able to see my mommy friends, which is an extra special bonus!! We all met about a year ago or more and started having playdates every other Friday. (It's a great way to start the weekend!!) All of our children are born within a month of each other and it is so cool to watch them play and interact.

Starting in September we will see each other every Friday because we are alternating playdates with field trips. And thanks to our creative and very organized friend Allison we will have a "soup swap" on the first Friday of every month starting also in Septmeber. We love soup and love this idea!! Thanks Allison!!

Today's playdate was at Jenny and Gavin's house. Jenny's house is adorable and very toddler safe. The Barefoot Princess and her friends Gavin and Grace had a blast!! The pictures say it all. So a big thank you to Jenny!! I hope the fish in the pond are ok.
