Veterans Day Weekend

We actually did something fun this weekend to blog about! We enjoyed a three day weekend thanks to Veterans Day. Huge thanks to all those who have served and are currently serving. There is a squadron from our base that is gone right now and I think of them often as they are away from their family during the holidays.

On Saturday morning Brad and I went horseback riding. I had a groupon for it and since Brad had never been we thought we would be a fun date. Brad got assigned Vegas.

And I had Cindy.

We brushed the horses then got them saddled up and rode around the ring for a bit to make sure we could control them. Then we set off on a half hour trail ride. It was a nice day and the colors were beautiful. She gave us the offer to come back for a longer trail ride. We might just have to take her up on that. We both had a lot of fun.

On Friday we headed up to the Science Museum in Raleigh with some friends. There were a lot of animals to see and a 3-D movie on Tornados.

I think this was the highlight of the day for the kids - riding the escalator. The adults had to take turns letting them go up and down.

Jacob was there too :)

We have been reading several dinosaur books lately so I thought he would be more interested in the dinosaurs. He really wasn't. He also wasn't too interested in taking pictures. Oh well.

I just remembered I need to post Jacob's 5 month pictures and the pictures of the first attempt at eating cereal. Look out for another blog post :)
