Hadley's preschool pictures 2013

Hadley is so lucky!  She already had her school pictures for the year and look at all the cool props she got to use! 

Life is zooming by...

The weeks fly by with school each day and I look forward to the weekends with mommy and daddy and Hady.
This is completely a catch up post to tell you about all the new, exciting things I have done lately.
Colts preseason opener vs. Buffalo Bills. Thanks Nana and Papa for the tickets. So much fun.

 

We have spent many days at the lake even with the cooler temperatures.  There is still plenty of swimming, boat riding and water sports to be done before fall hits.

 

Just partly bundled for an evening boat ride.

And perfect weather for my first campout with daddy.

 

We went crawdad catching this morning.  It was so fun and by the end of it I was super brave and even would pick up the biggest ones.  I might have gotten pinched but I am pretty sure I deserved it.  Hady loved walking the bridge and playing on the big rocks, she wasn't so interested in these things we call crawdads.

 

A little glimpse of mommy's growing belly made it in this picture.

 

 

This was just half of the catch...of course we set them all free.

 

Told you she loved the bridge.

 

I admit it wasn't bad but I prefer catching things.

 

Her version of rock climbing.

I got pretty brave...here is a big daddy crawdad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





School 2013

So I started kindergarten.  I am in Mr. Packard's class.  The days are long but filled with friends and exciting things to do.  I have made one really good friend named Tom Henry and I am sure I will make many more friends this year.

Yes, I wore shoes to school.

 

 

Lunch and backpack are packed and ready to go.

 

The next day Hady started preschool in Mrs. Gebhardt's class.  She, of course, loves it.

Day trip to McCormick's Creek

We are trying to live it up this summer with spending time outside.  The weather has been perfect without feeling like you are going to melt with sweat so we took a cooler Sunday trip to McCormick's Creek.  Mommy used to spend a lot of time there with her grandparents when she was about my age.  We got lucky and they had a special program at the nature center.  I got to meet some really cool animals, including a hedgehog and got up close and personal with a few hawks.

 

We love each other sometimes.

 

We found the perfect lunch spot that included this old playground and tire swing.

 

Yes, it is blurry but Hady is in constant motion especially when you add a tire swing.

 

We hiked down to the waterfall, climbed on some rocks and even got a little wet.

Another summer day...another adventure for us.  Next year I am going to go on a horse ride through the woods because I will finally be six (the age you can do just about anything.)

Fair

One of my very favorite times of the summer is fair time.  You get to see animals, do fun activities, eat junk food and ride rides.  This year we went twice.  Once with friends in the morning and once later in the week at night with daddy.  Both times were so fun.  I could go to the fair each and every day.  When we went with friends we were lucky enough to see Silly Safari and Super Why.  At night the rides were enough for me and Hady and probably daddy (he had to ride the rides this year since mommy has a baby in her belly.)

Friends at the fair.

 Our tradition of a picture on the fair chicken...if you can sit up on your own you have to sit on the chicken.

 

There were animals to pet.

 

Characters from Super Why? were even there one day.

 

Back at night with daddy...I rode the airplanes with Hady, rode the ferris wheel with daddy and Hady, did some fun houses with daddy and Hady, rode down the huge slide more times than I can count with daddy and Hady and rode in the bumper cars with daddy while Hady went to bounce around the bouncey house.

 

So long Monroe County Fair this year...until next year...
