A major perk of having a husband work for a bank are the random "holidays" they get off. Thank you Christopher Columbus. And since he has worked at said bank for 12 years, we have made it a tradition to go down to Brown County and Nashville on this day.
We stopped by my grandparents on the way and they got to meet Selah for the first time.
The kids noticed the leaves as soon as we got out and couldn't help but to just dive in! We didn't anticipate any pony rides until we saw how cheap, and since it was a "vacation" we figured we could splurge a little.
Evangeline was so excited about getting to ride...
but was not thrilled about having to get off and let someone else go. Yes, tears were shed. It was a hard goodbye.
Ari originally didn't want to ride and opted not to when we originally paid, but then decided halfway through Evangeline's turn that he did want to ride. Tears were almost shed then too because we were not going to stand in line for another 20 minutes because we had lots more things to do on our one day vacation. But it happened to work out that nobody was in line when her turn was over so he was able to go.
Some nice girls took our picture and we returned the favor to them as well. The weather turned out nicely with a high of 70 degrees and sunshine.
We didn't get to do as many trails as we would have liked, but that's the trade off for having many small feet with us.
Our main agenda for the day revolves around getting fudge and coffee in Nashville. It's a MUST if you ever go. However, the hot chocolate is highway robbery so we brought our own for the kids :)
On our way home I wanted to stop by an orchard, but it ended up being a lot longer drive than I anticipated. My husband loves me SO much that he endured and got us to our destination. :)
While I got apples, the kids went above and beyond to enjoy the haystack to its fullest.
This girl gets so excited when we take her outside, so she was content just watching all the kids playing.
The Bigs threw...
and laughed...
and jumped...
and jumped...
until it was time to go.
It was a long day but we made the most of it and packed it full of memories.
