This is a fun tradition that I gleaned from a homeschool friend. It was a fun day filled with lots of short fun and/or educational stops.
Stop #1 - We woke the kids up at 6am and told them to get dressed quickly! Our first stop on our Autumn Adventure was a nature sanctuary where we walked through the woods with flashlights and had worship by the river. Really neat despite the fact that it was the coldest day of the season!
Stop #2 - Grammy's house for breakfast! It was so yummy and it was so good to see Grammy! So glad she is just 45 minutes away now!
Mmmmmmm......
We also did a few chores before we left Grammy's.
Stop #3 - We could spend HOURS here reading (and playing with the train set!)
Stop #4 - Such a fun science and history museum and the admission is free!
We didn't take time for the whole museum, but we stopped by the two temporary exhibits. The first was Helen Keller and the history of education for the blind. Very fascinating!
typewriters
Learning to use an abacus
THis man's first book published with his line type for the blind was the Acts of the Apostles! How neat!
The second stop int he museum was about how animals and plants survive and thrive in the dark.
Interesting facts....
We had a little time left on our parking meter so we spent a few moments in the Science in Motion section.
Display on how telephones have changed over the years!
Stop #5 - Lunch!!
We all found something we liked!
So yummy!!
Stop #6 - Dessert... Twas a cute little place!
Stop #7 - Our last activity was BIBLE LABS! We stapled together an apple cider pack, a GLOW tract, and the little card on top. We passed out 96 packs to people inand around businesses in Three Rivers. Very, very fun!! We love to see people's reactions,plus the Lord gave us a divine appointment today! (for that story check out my bible labs blog here.)

And fun was had by all!! :)
It was definitely a day to remember! The kids' excitement was so funny. We'll definitely have to do this again next year! You should too!
