Last weekend: Fort Wayne

I didn't post at all last weekend for some reason, but Aunt C, Isaac, Joshua, and I went to Fort Wayne for a visit.  It was an excellent time.  You can tell that the kids are growing up as they play together better and better.

Friday we went for a walk in a marsh.  It has the eastern continental divide, separating water that flows east and west.  (Which is currently very important due to Asian carp).  Anyway, most of the trail was nice and firm, except for a small patch that was very muddy.  We all had boots on, so we continued on.  However, Joshua's boot sunk down rather deep in the mud and the mud held the boot as his foot came out.  Instead of stopping though, Joshua took a step into the mud and freaked out because his foot got wet and cold.  He took one more step and clung to Aunt C.  I saw the whole thing (in slow motion) and was there a heartbeat later.  I stripped off the muddy sock and stuck his boot back on as fast as possible and we continued on.  Joshua did talk about that step for the next fifteen minutes though. :)

By the end of the walk (a bit over a mile) all the kids could barely continue because their legs hurt so much.  So we went to an indoor playground and they ran around for another hour.

We went to a cider mill after dinner for drinks.

The next day we went on a chocolate factory tour.  It was a great length for the kids and had lots of delicious samples.  We couldn't take pictures and so as we were leaving Nathan took a driveby picture of the outside.   

It was a gorgeous day, so we went to another park.  It had a great playground and a fun hill to run down and the kids played hard.

We hit one more playground on Sunday before heading home.  It was a lovely weekend catching up with Nathan and his family.
