Today we started off by reading the New York Times. Brooke found the crossword and not knowing how to do it, filled it in with numbers (so cute). There’s a kids section with easy, medium, and hard kids crossword puzzles, and after learning how to do them, she completed the first two (with help). Afterward, we hiked the back trails of Oak Grove Lake as a family. Such a lovely Sunday morning!
I released my debut novel today. I had a lot of fun checking proofs, unboxing, signing copies, being treated to a delicious celebratory dinner with gifts, sharing my book cake with AJ and the kiddos, crossing off “release day” on my countdown calendar, and attending a virtual book release party hosted by Jackie! It was a fun day!
It wouldn’t be fall without going through Bergey’s Corn Maze. This year they had fun facts about the days when they were a functioning dairy farm. Afterward we, of course, got ice cream! Yum!
AJ has begun building the treehouse and the kids are very excited!
It was nice weather today, so we decided to take a little day trip to Colonial Williamsburg. We ate our favorite BBQ on the way up, and then walked around looking at all the old buildings and beautiful gardens. It was nice to do something a little different.
