Fall Break- Part 1

Fall break doesn't mean a whole to us as a family yet, since none of our kids are in school yet. However, it does mean all of our cousins our out of school for the week, and that always means a good time. This year, Stacy & Johnny, Katie & Brian, Pete & Ang, and the kids and I (poor Benton had to work) spent and entire day at Schnepf Farms. 7 hours to be exact. I didn't think it was possible to spend that much time there, but we did and to be honest, we probably could have stayed a little longer. Having 13 cousins to entertain and ride rides together makes it a much easier and less stressful and therefore more enjoyable experience for us big kids. It was a fantastic day, filled with roller coasters, flying bees, pig races, 4-seater bikes, and we even had some clouds and a teeny bit of rain to add to the awesomeness of it all.
 Macey's first non-kid roller coaster. She made the height requirement by 1 inch! She looks to tiny! She said it was scary, but still liked it enough to ride it again. She's our little dare devil.
A very common site. Uncle Brian is the world's biggest kid magnet and his super strength just adds to it

Oh these bikes!! I got my cardio in for the day on these puppies. I pedaled 3 kids, by myself. Will was supposed to help but he couldn't reach the pedals. If you think I'm a wimp, you obviously haven't ridden one. ;)

Not even the babies missed out on the fun. James and Ivy were happy as can be all day
Alice and her mud puddle. She b-lined and jumped into that thing any chance she got. She was beyond filthy!!
Oh, Uncle Brian- never a dull moment
The one and only picture and proof that I was there that day, pregnant and all.
