Well, somehow my photos are in reverse order of what I wanted to have them... the one above was supposed to be the last one. Oh well, I guess we'll go backwards through the day today. This is at Backbone park, I like the unusual color of the water! Beautiful scenery.
I got to bring Olivia along this trip-she had never been to Backbone (that she can remember). It was a fun experience climbing the backbone (pictured above), and doing a bit more climbing than I remember doing when I was younger... :) A playground for big kids?? I guess you have to be more careful than a park, but still very fun! An enjoyable afternoon outside, getting fresh cool air, looking at lovely scenery, with friends and family.
After we were done at Osborn we stopped for a lunch-ish/snack at Joe's Pizza. It's a joint that really reminded me of a small town LITTLE restaurant... which it was-it's in Strawberry Point. It was somewhat run down but also, "quaint"? Our groups of families (Deeds, Wheelers, Schicks, Kennens, Halls, and us) basically filled the place. Good times with good friends.
Osborne Heritage Days was yummy, interesting, COLD (maybe freezing-literally). I learned a new crafty hobby thing-spinning. I hope it'll be fun enough for me to do it, and the yarn turn out well enough for me to keep at it. I now can at least begin to make my own yarn, I don't know all of the steps to making yarn, but I'm hoping to learn them! I have a drop spin spinner, and non-dyed wool I got at Osborn today. I spun on the ride home, and it's challenging to get it just the right width not to thick and don't let the wool break, etc. I'm looking forward to seeing how the yarn turns out! I'll try to get pictures of it on my blog soon. :D
cool, I'm interesting the yarn thing. blog soon.
