La felicidad que se encuentra: Kyle, Jenny, Alexa, Tyler, Tad, Liam, Nathan, and Audrey

We have been loving the pool and were sad to empty it after Labor Day. The kids have been swimming LOTS. We also found a cool leaf bug on our last swim day.  I found Tad playing peek a boo and singing to one of the baby bunnies after church. He said it was scared because it was away from its mom so he was helping it feel better. Alexa and I did a spa night where Tyler and Daddy gave us massages, made us fancy drinks, played spa music, and we did masks. Kyle and I tried out axe throwing which was really fun, we did black light mini golf, Alexa helped Liam practice his han...
