We headed out early this morning with fresh fruit from our local farmer's market and our swimsuits on to spend the morning at BreakHeart. Mia has gotten really good at going up and down all the hills on the way to the beach and playground area. The kids played a while on the playground and then we got settled in by the water. The water was the most perfect temperature and it was in the low 80's. The kids wanted to build a castle with a moat and large gait and tunnel and all the fixin's - and that's what we did.
When we realized it was too late for Lennon to have a nap we headed out to Chick Fil A and also ended up getting both kids new sweatshirts for the quickly approaching fall.
Once we were headed home we realized that Mia had left her brand new Barbie in the lake. She is pretty bummed. She'd been dreaming about that Barbie for months and she finally bought it just last week with some money Grandmommy (Mary Beth) sent her for her birthday. Shelby even went back to the beach to see if he could find it to no avail. We just checked her wallet and she has just about enough to buy another one, but she's still pretty bummed to have lost it and now have to spend more of her money getting another one. Hopefully this will be a good experience for her to learn some responsibility. She's such a sweetie pie and I hate seeing her sad, but I think it will be good for her.
Shelby's at school now registering for the semester and it looks like he'll be able to be in Nashville from Tuesday morning until Monday morning over Thanksgiving. Yea!
Mia and Lennon happily smashing the T Rex head.

I love that you guys have so many cool things close by your house! And I'm also wondering how many people have already offered to buy Mia another Barbie doll. I assume you don't want anyone to b/c you mentioned what a good lesson it was for her. I'm not good at hearing that she's upset:)
