Ohio Weekend & Bon Voyage

Ohio Weekend & Bon Voyage

Well this will be an epic post. Here are some image from this past weekend and Monday's outfit.















These pictures are from Glen Helen Nature Preserve. Its located in Yellow Springs and is incredibly beautiful. I first went to Glen Helen in 5th grade with my class, it was so much fun. I've been going back ever since but mainly only to the Yellow Spring. It's actually orange colored because of the high iron content, but the water is so refreshing tasting! This time Kevin and I decided to hike the entire glen mainly the pine tree forest. This was my favorite place in 5th grade and I haven't been back. I was surprised. It looked nothing like it did. There was so much under brush and so many trees had fallen from the hurricane winds Dayton got two years ago. It was so upsetting, I cried. I have carried this memory in my head for so long, and it was crushing. I of course had dreams for this place. Other than that the place was beautiful, a little run down (since Antioch College, who ran the place, went belly up. But they are reopening!) but we managed to walk the entire place which took around 4 hours.... When I went home to my mom's house I found my old 5th grade pictures from Glen Helen.:)











On Sunday Kevin and I lounged around until 4ish when we went down to Carillon Park to ride the bike path along the Miami River (little do people know the Miami are from Ohio and midwest states, why Florida named a city that, I don't know). We rode down to Miamisburg around 11 miles, ate some food, then rode back. On the way down we rode it in a little under an hour, the way back we rode it in 40min. I feel pretty good about that, there were even hills! So yeah we didn't get home to Michigan until 12:30a... Man we were tired.

And now for Monday's outfit, I'm showing it in this post because starting tomorrow I'm taking a blogger vacation. Kevin and I are off on our own adventure, and I STILL don't have a computer... So I guess perfect timing.

S&U On Tour } Blake's Orchard

Over the past weekend Kev and I, along with Ian and Antoin ventured to Blake's Orchard for a day of Hayrides, Barn yard animals, creepy animatronics from ages ago, bunnies, and of coarse picking pumpkins.

So without further ado I give a poop load of pictures.





 

Being eaten by a creepy christmas tree then dancing a jig to Dueling Banjos being played over the loud speaker. Kevin really didn't like going into strange buildings with that playing, so I danced to make him feel better.



 

Can you say creepy? She's missing hair!! And why is there a naked man taking a bath? Who takes their children here? haha


 

I went a little plaid and pattern crazy, I'm sorry if it hurts the eyes!


 

Doing our best Children of the Corn






 

You can see me in his glasses!



 

There just Happened to be a gourd laying between two pumpkins, so of course the boys giggled and posed... How old are they? Haha













Well times were fun, and I love hanging out with the guys. They were of course giddy hanging out with each other and laughing at grade school humor. But it was really cute. The whole day was filled with laughter, and in the end of the night we stopped in Romeo and sat at the only place that was open and drank some coffee. I had so much fun.

You can see the rest of the pictures on my flickr set. You can see that I LOVE taking pictures and don't care if it seems like I have too much! It's a way of cataloging your life. It's my photo diary.
