At our latest discovery, Lewis Farm, a small family-run farm not a mile away from our house. Who knew?! We originally went to pick up a few pumpkins for carving, but ended up spending the entire morning playing there. The kids befriended Honey, a sweet horse who graciously gave them a ride. Loved going up the mountain of hay and down the giant slide. Met some pigs, goats, horses, and barn cats, and a cow with an attitude problem who kept mooing grumpily. A fun outing for the Wallners, and the best part? The fresh brown eggs and sausage we took home and cooked for lunch after. Heaven. Lewis Farm, we’ll be back!

I have wanted to do this since we lived at James Street — that’s ten years I’ve been waiting! Unfortunately, renting homes and/or moving every four and a half minutes is not conducive to hanging a gallery of photos and artwork. Thanks to some very generous birthday gifts this year, my Gallery Dream is finally coming true!
I imagine it will take quite some time to finish, but we’ve got a good start, and the process is going to be the fun part.

Been a while but we still remember how to do it right!
Wallner Elementary’s first Field Trip this fall to the Schiele Museum of Natural History. The kids met some nice workers installing solar panels outside the museum, so had a lesson in solar energy. As usual we stop to say hi to our T-Rex friend. The kids’ vote for favorite part of the day was the new Caves exhibit. Added spelunking, stalactite and stalagmite to our vocabulary. Thumbs up for field trip #1.
