I just stopped myself from apologizing for these posts being so few and far between because I remembered my reasoning from the beginning that it would be sparse during the school year. Not only does teaching limit my time to blog, but law school continues to limit Case's photography. So although I'm sorry I can't share our lives with our distant loved ones more often during 9 months of the year, I'm happy to report that we try to make the most of any time we do have together. Here are some pictures from one such precious family outing to Thanksgiving Point.

| Lizzie LOVED the maze! She felt like such a big girl, exploring around corners and dead ends all by herself! She also enjoyed playing run-away-from-mommy-and-daddy. |
 |
| Ahh, dirt. Possibly her favorite feature of Thanksgiving Point. I love how this shot captures her fascination with sifting the grains between her fingers and with watching it fall. She did not come quietly when it was time to move away from the dirt. |
 |
| She was clearly torn between enjoying the perch on top of the bear statue, and being nervous that she was sitting on a bear. In the end, I think she decided things would be safer with Mommy. |
 |
| Case did some beautifully artistic shots like this one while we explored the gardens. |
 |
| There was a new garden full of exquisite statues of Christ. Apparently, they will all become full sized by the time the garden is complete. |
 |
| You would think the moderately chilly weather would act as a deterrent for a person to get wet, right? Wrong, at least for this toddler! I was thankful for her hood to prevent her from diving in completely! :) |
