{Fall Fun}

This past weekend was Walhalla's annual Oktoberfest.  Or really the annual Beer Festival

We took the kids during the day Saturday while it was warm and less crowded.  After a delicious lunch (let's face it... I look forward to the Oktoberfest all year b/c they have the most delicious food!) the kids rode several of the rides. 

When the ride tickets were almost gone we bought a funnel cake and a lemonade and sat down to eat and watch the German Dancers.  Sammy was so fascinated by the dancers that he didn't want to leave when we were ready to move on.  "No Mommy.  I stay here!"

In the evening Bob came to our house to stay with the kids while Bobby & I went back to the Oktoberfest.  There's nothing better than eating lunch and supper there... 
We just enjoy walking around, eating, and running into friends that we only see once or twice a year. 

I'm almost sad that it's over.  At least I have Thanksgiving to look forward to!

{My Babies}



'

Nothing very exciting has been happening around the Clark household lately.  Just...


Bobby has been training for a full marathon which which will be at the end of this month.   I'm so proud of him.  I can barely run a mile so I certainly admire his dedication!

Hannah is still working on learning to read.  She's getting better every day.   In addition to learning to read she's been working on addition {funny I know!}  We've worked just a few minutes each day on math.  She's more interested in reading and writing at the moment so that's what we've been focusing on the most.

Samuel has been making great strides in learning his letters.  Yesterday he surprised me by pointing to and naming the 'W' on a book!  Woot!  He still loves playing with cars and jumping on the trampoline.  Nothing new :-)

Heather no longer has a baby sitting job due to a series of unfortunate events.  So at the moment I'm working on deep cleaning the house, playing with and teaching the kids and enjoying every bit of this fall weather.  I must say that I'm seriously looking forward to the Oktoberfest this weekend and all of the delicious food that comes with it!

The Clark's Next Big Adventure

So much for keeping the blog updated this year 😂  The Clark family is embarking on another adventure though and it's too big not to doc...
