Fall Break Adventure Day 3

Today was a little less scheduled but still a lot of fun. We all saw Joey and Anthony off to school on the bus (I was a little sad that John Mark could not go with them). Then we all got ready to head out. Paige went to gymnastics so it was just my sister Wendy, baby Alison and my kids. We went to the mall to look for some clothes for John Mark. Since he has not had to wear pants yet in Tennessee, when I went to try his pants on for this trip they were all too short. And he needed a fall jacket especially since it is nice and cool here.

So we went to the mall...hit about 6 stores. John Mark and Riley were relatively good considering we were shopping. We headed home, stopping for lunch for the kids. Riley and Ali napped (in fact so did I) and John Mark and Paige played. It was great that they got along so well without the boys here.

This evening Wendy decided to have a birthday party for Ali (she turned One on September 23rd). She had a couple of friends over for pizza and cake. The kids played well together (football in the back yard), even though there were a few tears shed over one team's "running game". The kids loved the pizza and sang happy birthday to Ali with all the gusto that little voices can carry. It was great.

Now the kids are winding down and watching Star Wars. I love vacation!
