Our Brown County Vacation

We had fun......



.....watching horses..........

After a hike to the Saddle Barn, we watched the horses get ready for a trail ride.

......riding a pony.....

Maya rode a pony named Chocolate first, and then later Macaroni. Both were very gentle. The most difficult part of the whole thing was for Wayne and me to dodge stepping in pony pattys as we led her around the ring.

....petting a pony.....

.....shouting"Giddy-gee-ha"!

......enjoying the fall colors.....

...shopping in Nashville...

...hiking.......

......trick or treating......

......reading not-so-scary teeny tiny ghost stories.....

Grandma gave Maya the perfect Halloween book, not-so-scary at all.

........swimming......

Watch out for the buckets, Daddy! Despite our warnings, Wayne got drenched by the bucket fountain, over and over, to Maya's delighted giggles!

......driving race cars.........


......making new friends........

.....playing ping pong......






......puzzles and popcorn......and trail mix.....

We were addicted to finishing a 300 piece puzzle, staying up to late then running back in the morning. The guys ended up finishing it except for two mystery pieces, they were there but didn't fit!

.....watching the birds out the windows of our rooms........

.......enjoying the buffets and daily specials at the Lodge restaurant......

......going on a Halloween hayride........

.......talking on the phone - to no one in particular :) .......

......shopping at the Lodge Gift Shop......

Linda, especially, found lots of treasures in Nashville and in the lodge gift shop. We all did our part to help the local economy. Grandma added to Maya's "posse" - a new eagle.

....... playing Mr. Potato Head........

........winning a Royal Flush - yup, that says $1,057......

.......just being silly......

.....watching "Underdog"........

Our new friends from Noblesville, brought the movie Underdog and were nice to share it and their movie snacks with us one night.

.......relaxing and enjoying family......

My favorite part (well, maybe if you don't count the royal flush) was just chillin' with family.

.......time to go, bye-bye tall guy!
