Directions to Fondulac Farm

Ok, here are the directions to Fondulac Farm:

74 East toward Bloomington
Exit 95 B (Camp street exit)you will exit just when you get over the bridge.
continue on E. Washington Street...which is what it turns into when you get off the freeway.
Turn right onto Meadow Avenue (Rt. 150)
Follow this road up for a little
Turn right on Neuman Drive
There is a little wood sign that looks like a barn that says Fondulac Farm.
It will be a steep right turn up a big hill. Follow this up and once you get up close to the top you'll see it on the right.

I hope this gets everyone there. When I got lost last time I didn't have the "Meadow Drive" name and I got lost!

Don't forget your sack lunches and camera!

Playgroup is canceled today

I don't know about you but being out at the park in the rain just doesn't sound good. Since we all have the Ward party tonight, I decided to just cancel it and let us take it easy this morning! See you all tonight!

Rain or shine we are having our picnic

I am still planning on going to the park. what is more fun then playing in the rain. I am dressing my kids in clothes that they can "play" in. So, I am game to let them go wild and have a good time. Pull our the rain boots...mom's bring a chair so your bums aren't wet and enjoy all that nature has to give us!
