On our way through Indianapolis on Friday afternoon, we made a stop to meet a college friend of ours for a little while at a park. This was a great break from the drive for the kids as they got to play and run around outdoors on a gorgeous fall day while we chatted. Then we drove the final stretch to the cabin and settled ourselves in. As we waited for others to arrive, Craig took our Armenians to see the horses and, surprisingly, both loved them and wanted to try riding. We spent the evening catching up with friends, laughing, playing and eating.

The next morning began leisurely with a big potluck breakfast followed by exploring the ranch, riding, photo shoots, etc. Rex and Ella enjoyed their time with the horses and Rex started saying the word horse. We didn't even try to get our tiny Bulgarian homebody to ride, but she did like watching the horses and petting the goats and cats.
In the afternoon, we had a sensory saw dust search for the kids. Needless to say, everyone needed a bath afterward.
On Saturday night, we let the kids put on their costumes and play as they pleased in the cabin.

Us parents had the opportunity to sit and talk about our experiences. It's truly refreshing to spend time with others who get it, who don't judge, who can advise or simply relate.
After saying our goodbyes at the cabin the next morning, we headed to my alma mater to spend a little bit of time with two special young ladies who attend there now. They treated us to a tour and to lunch. Rex absolutely loved walking around campus.

And we were so thrilled to see our friends.
On the way home, the wee Martinis were all tuckered out from so much fun during a great weekend.
