Kicking it- with the Flickinger's: Columbus Day of Play

Today the weather here was Central PA was absolutely ahhhh-mazing!!! So of course we HAD to take advantage of our Columbus Day off school~~ Which is exactly what we did by heading to Ashcombe's a local flower shop/fall pumpkin provider/gift shop/cafe~~~ basically this place has TONS of cool stuff for kids and adults alike~~ check it out if you haven't been there already! http://www.ashcombe.com//

Flickinger's & the Fry's -- Adrien does look like he's ready for a Memorable day?!

Getting a close look at the Koi pond~

*So we had planned on meeting up with the Fry Family and my kids were SUPER excited. The playdate started off great...as you see from the pictures. Then as were all gathered around the Koi Pond and giving out NUMEROUS warnings, "DON'T get to close & DON'T fall in!" Yes, I'm sure you know what I'm going to say next-- one of the kids FELL in...o.k. well, it was Adrien....he didn't just slip, oh no, his entire body went in. Both sneakers went straight to bottom and he was waist DEEP in the pond in 2 seconds-- soaked to the bone! I was speechless-- We were just seconds away from heading over to kids fun field to play in the hay, corn sandbox, haunted maze, and wagon ride.


Right after Adrien was waist deep in the Koi pond~~ if you look close he's completely soaked!

Welllll, I 1st HAD to take a picture, and then go to my car to search for something for Adrien to change into. Or drive back home which would have taken at least a 1/2 hour to get back and probably ruined the playdate for Adrien. Alas, I had a pair of my drawstring cargo pants and dry socks, plus a towel from our daily summer trips to the pool--->see hubs, sometimes it pays not to clean out the car! The playdate was a BLAST and definitely one we won't soon forget! Fiona keeps sharing this story with anyone who will listen to her and she also has reminded Adrien at least 20 times, "You fell in the FISH pond!"
