Trip to the Schoolhouse

We took a little trip down to the Schoolhouse this weekend. The 'Schoolhouse' is a Poling-Family tradition. It is a old schoolhouse located in Steelville that has been in Ken's family for a few generations now. In the past, it was used an actual school that children in the area attended. Once purchased by the Poling's...it was converted into a living space...with kitchen, bathroom, living room & bedrooms. And ...it is a fun place for the Poling's to escape to for the weekends, mostly in Summer:)

Here we are getting ready to leave...the boys are ready to go!

And...I thought this should be captured. It's a picture of the car all loaded up. Keep in mind--this is what we need to survive a day & a half! We were prepared for anything!!!

Our first day was spent in the 'creek'...also known as the Huzzah. I didn't get any pictures at the actual creek this time around. I have plenty from years-past. However, I did manage to get one of John, post-creek. He was wiped out!

After a little rest, we had a DELICIOUS dinner...steak, zucchini, potatoes, corn-on-the-cob. Yum!! We followed that with a few board games.

Once it got dark, we had a little fire...

And also enjoyed a smore:)

After a good nights sleep, we woke up, ready for more fun. Kenny & Pa-Pa went for a ride on the 4-wheeler. Here is Kenny...ready to go with his helmet on!

They had a little friend who wanted to ride too...

And...they are ready to go!

John kept himself busy with a few bubbles...

And...I'll leave you with a few pictures of the actual Schoolhouse...
