Ben had the day off work and took us out to the shooting range. We had our very own gun safety class and shooting instruction!
Learning how to load the magazines:
It was pretty loud out there (apparently snowbirds are all about the shooting range), so Alison and Colin camped out in the car for a bit, but Eli loved reloading the magazines for us.
When we were done, we headed to From the Farm right down the road. It's an antique store and restaurant, but I couldn't quite figure out what was "from the farm". The kids LOVED it. Walking through the antique store, I picked up an old phone and asked if they knew what it was. Nope. So he had an impromtu history lesson right there.
And then we saw this desk and their faces were priceless when I told them that is what students used to sit in for school. I hope they appreciate their big, comfy chairs a little bit more.
The kids got ice cream and sat by the pond. We are soaking up every bit of being outside that we can right now :)
Alison and Eli absolutely loved their strawberry ice cream. It's a shame they don't remember the amazing-ness that came from the strawberry patch in Virginia.
I would say the day was a fun success because they all asked if we could do it again the next day. If only daddy could be home with us every day...that would be fun.
