One of our Covid 19 disappointments was having to reschedule our family vacation. The kids had been SO looking forward to Universal because they love all things Harry Potter! So, the day we would have spent at Universal became HP food day. We had butterbeer pancakes with pumpkin juice for breakfast, made pumpkin pasties for a snack and then had chicken legs, mashed potatoes and corn for supper. (The kids didn't end up liking the chicken legs!)

| Lorelei nervous that her brother is in charge of egg-cracking. |
 |
| They both really liked the process of making the pumpkin pasties. |
Visits to the Stream
We have discovered a little gem close to home and have made multiple visits.
 |
| Catching tadpoles and fish to look at them for a bit before putting them back. |
 |
| Who is that tall girl?! |
 |
| Stone skipping. |
 |
| After our first trip Makin decided to make his own fishing pole. He used pvc pipe, a screw and nut, paperclips hot glue, a ping pong ball and fishing line and added that to a hook and weight he found on our first trip. He caught two fish! This is how a 9-year-old goes fishing...mom you keep an eye on my fishing pole. :) |
 |
| Loved seeing two sets of a mama duck with her babies following close behind. |
 |
| This day the kids explored a new area and they called the mud pit quicksand. Makin was quite proud he found the spot and asked the rest to check it out. |
This year we stayed home. Brad fixed breakfast for me and then I cooked one of my favorite dishes for lunch.
Strawberry Picking
We were so excited the strawberry patch could open and the Scotts joined us for strawberry picking one morning.
 |
| We decided to try a strawberry plant. Although we only may get one strawberry a week its sure fun to see the process of the strawberry growing! |
More Tent Building
We have reached the level of having a second story in our tents.
