Tombstones, Barns and Church

I went out this day and just drove down some roads. Stopped and took some really neat photos. Have you ever stopped at a graveyard and actually looked at the old tombstones. They have some really neat artwork on them.
Just some random photos from today's drive.

First Snow

On November 29th we had our first snow. I was of course at work, but had my camera with me. So out I went!
It didn't start out as very much.

 It kept on coming. I was patient and waited longer to get more photos. I had to go out with my umbrella over my head to take them and that was a trip! Try to hold a camera and an umbrella and see how much fun it is! I'm sure people driving down the road thought I was nuts! Especially when I went out to the mailbox.

Bass Pro

Saturday, November 26th when we left French Lick we drove over to Clarksville and went to Bass Pro.
Josie was in heaven when we got to the aisles with the worms. She has to buy at least one or two bags wherever we go. She has quite the collection.

We stood in line for over an hour waiting our turn for photos with Santa. But she didn't cry this year and told him she wanted a DS and a Barbie.

Okay, people, are you ready for a photo overload! Well here's the second day spent at French Lick!

First we start out with breakfast at the Colonnade Room. Which was the first time Mike & I had ate there and the buffet was wonderful!
Snuffy joined us.

While everyone was finishing up breakfast I took the kids outside to run and play. It was nice and warm out.
The grounds and architecture around here are beautiful!

I had wanted to find someone to take a family photo of us while we were down there but had no luck. So I set up the camera on self timer and tried some. Then Riley got to take some of us, then Kayla and lastly Josie.

After everyone got loaded up, I wanted to go back to the casino to see if I could hit anymore. First we went to the candy shoppe to get the kids something to eat to help Mama pacify them. Their homemade candies in there are so pretty!

And while I was away, they got to see Santa Clause. He was there getting ready to see all the other boys and girls and take photos. We weren't going to be there when is was photo taking time, so he was nice enough to pose for a few.

And I lost more money so we left! When we got outside Josie wasn't done posing for photos.

I saw this garage coming into town and told Mike it would make a pretty cool photo. Well he remembered and whipped me into an empty pull off so I could snap this. I think it is so awesome! Love the colors!!!

Well that ends the trip to French Lick! Everyone split and went their different ways. Us! Well we drove on down to Clarksville to go to Bass Pro and stay the night there. I think this might be a new annual tradition for us. Stay at French Lick and then go to Bass Pro the next day.
