Oliver's Nursery

For a teacher planning day in October, we got together with some friends and took the kids to Oliver's Nursery in Holt. They had a gorgeous set up with tons of pumpkins, mums, and lots of activities for the kids. I'm not who enjoyed it more, the kids or the moms.

Sailor's favorite, the petting zoo.

My favorite, the baby donkey!

 

  Check out those faces, that's some serious competition!

 

  

 

Although we packed a picnic lunch for everyone, we couldn't resist a little sweet treat.

 

Northwest Florida Caverns

Back in October we decided to take a little day trip. The kids weren't originally too excited about this trip, but Hank and I were both looking forward to it. A couple of hours from here are the Northwest Florida Caverns and this was our first visit since moving here. We figured it was something exciting and different for the kids but educational for them at the same time.

We could not have asked for a more beautiful day!

 

Down we go!

 

 Once we got inside, the kids were pretty amazed.

I loved that the ceilings had different designs and shells you could see.

 

 

 

 

 

 How cool is this, a sharks tooth in the ceiling?!

 

After our tour of the caverns, the kids wanted to hit some of the nature trails. 

I was blown away when Tucker spotted a deer in the woods!

 

We walked through one of the smaller caves and I made the mistake of looking up, this is seriously what was above me. Yes, I did completely freak out. I made Hank go back and take a picture of them. I was too afraid they would come after me. All I could picture was the beginning of Scooby Doo cartoons with the bats chasing me down.
