A welty weekend

Odds and ends pictures from the patuxent and a local nursery.

School park and around the house

Day at the park

I thought their was a friends birthday party at the park, but we didn't find them.  But we had fun anyway.

The Farm october 7th 2011

The whole Welty family of college park made a trip out to a farm to pick apples, (fifty pounds worth) and pumpkins. 

Gideons first day of school

Gideon went to his first day of school today.  He is in a class of nine students that meets once a week, then through the week we home school him to review the previous weeks lesson.

Butterfly Field Trip

This past week, we went to the butterfly exhibit at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton. We went with the Waterhouses, Zubas and Colemans. The exhibit was excellent, and the kids loved it. After taking in the butterflies, we walked around the rest of the Gardens, which are always beautiful. The azaleas are the most magnificent right now. All in all, a great day!

Grammy and Grandpa's new home!

We took our first road trip in our new van, over Kelsey's spring break, to visit Grammy and Grandpa in their new home in Lancaster, OH.

Here you can see Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma Grimm's house right across the street! Joel loved going over to "play" the piano. :)

This picture shows the back of the house, with the cool upstairs porch.

We hiked up Mount Pleasant, and took in the views of the city.

On our anniversary, we took a lovely walk downtown and had lunch at Shaw's. The food was great, and they bring you cinnamon rolls before your meal! (mmm...)

We also had an egg hunt in the yard for Gideon, Joel and James. James was more into it than Joel was and tried his best to get Joel more involved!
