Kyle took me on a date yesterday. We went the Art Museum on campus to see the new exhibit on Rome. It was fun- so nice to go to a quiet museum and actually have time to read about the paintings. Kyle pointed out that we had never been to the museum w/o Abigail and so hence we have never been able to really look at everything.
The exhibit was about the Grand Tours the privileged would do during the 1700s. The Grand Tours were 6 month or longer trips the rich would take to Rome. They would bring servants, sometimes artists to sketch their trip since they couldn’t take pictures with a camera. What a vacation!

Friday we had family night- dinner at Sweet Basil by campus and then got frozen yogurt for dessert. Then we took a walk around campus. Andrew rode in his car and Abby rode her big girl bike! Saturday Kyle took Abby to game day and wen to the game with a friend. While he was tailgating I hiked to my parents with the kids. We had a fun afternoon and dinner with them. My parents always have projects ready for them. They decorated for Halloween and played with Sophie’s beanie babies this weekend.
Sunday we had a nice visit with Grandpa and Uncle Steve. Then we went to church, Kyle did yard work (yipee!). Pretty nice weekend. I am loving all this dry weather!!
