The Falk Family Blog

Our family went to NY for a few days to visit my side of the family. We stayed in a hotel with a pool and the kids loved it! We swam in the evenings before bed. It was a great way to tire them out while enjoying some cousin fun!

Lincoln hung out with Daddy in the pool while I stayed nice and dry, chatting with my mom.

Mya, Megan, and Ethan at the pool. Megan and Ethan are only 10 days apart.

Ethan loved hanging out in the “5 feet deep” end of the pool. He felt very cool!

Isaac felt more comfortable staying in the “3 feet deep” end.

My cousin, Jedd and my niece, Megan.

Silly, happy, kids!

While in New York we always try to visit Pastor and Mrs. Mohl. I called them on Saturday for a spur of the moment lunch. Luckily for us, their plans for the day fell through and they were free! It’s always great to sit down and chat with them. They really are very special to us!

My mom’s bird, Moe. He looks just like my childhood bird, Spike. I took Spike outside one summer day and he flew away.  Warren laughs every time he hears that story…so insensitive sometimes! :)

Ethan and his word search with 100 words! He was so excited he could hardly contain himself! He loves word searches. In fact, on the drive to NY he was busy in the backseat working on one when he asked, “How many more hours till we get there?” I told him we still had 4 hours left and his response was, “YES!” He then asked how long it would take an airplane to fly from our house to NY and I told him about an hour. He said, “That’s why I never want to fly.” Even Isaac agreed and said he loves long car rides.  Wish I could say the same…

The kids thought it was so funny to stick their fingers in the aquarium for the fish to nibble on.

Little Lincoln running inside to warm up. It was chilly!

Isaac had his friend, Sarah come over one day after school. They played great! When Lincoln went down for his nap we made this pumpkin craft.

Ethan and Mickey cuddling one afternoon after school.

Josie and Lincoln. They are getting so big!

Lincoln wrestling Isaac. One of their favorite things to do!

Here is Isaac’s class sporting their Johnny Appleseed hats and showing off the craft they made while learning the story of Johnny Appleseed.

The 2nd graders at Ethan’s school spent one morning baking apple pies. It was a lot of fun to help with the kids. The cafeteria smelled delicious while the pies were baking.
