- A little of Cornell & outside the Apartment -

 Everyone look close this is Kory's first day of school!!! He was not exactly thrilled when I pulled out the camera to take pictures but... in my defense I think there are some people (back home) that want to see these magical moments. If not sorry! It was actually the first day of Orientation so no one was around so I think he was OKAY with it cause he smiled in the first picture : )
 So the pictures loaded funny and maybe its because I have been out of the blogging way for awhile.. But the next picture is of this amazing covered hallway... I am sure there is a better way of describing it, the pictures don't even do it justice, it is so beautiful and unique it is a really fun place to walk around. Two pictures down shows the inside of the hallway its amazing to think how old these building are and the incredible details in all of campus.The kids loved climbing in the windows ! We think Aunt Shalee could find some fun place to take pictures here.
 The campus kindof sits at the top of a hill that over looks Downtown Ithaca.

 Still on the hill but if you look over the beautiful trees you can see the Lake (with no name cause I am not sure what it is) that we drive by every time we head to town that is filled with BOATS!! Liam loves that part of the drive!
 The brick work is astonishing, absolutely beautiful.
 Each one of the building were awesome to look at, it would be fun to see the inside, but with three kids we were lucky to cover the ground we did.
 There is an awesome clock in the center of campus that goes off every hour and it plays a array of chimes, like "kiss the girl" from Disney Ariel, and some other Disney songs. You can climb stairs to the top and be standing right under the bells when they are ringing and absorb the view but with kids it wasn't an option.  
 I can understand why everyone says the campus is prettiest in the Fall.
 Another cool building with neat details.
 A different Window in the MILR building.
 Something a little different.
 And the Picture we are MOST EXCITED ABOUT!!  Daddy and Klan in front of his Majors building. Congratulations Hun we are so proud of you.
 And now a few pictures of the OUTSIDE of the apartment. Had the apartment clean and should have taken pictures because now it is LIVED IN! But I know there are still some people who are curious (mom) so I will put some up!
 This is the Spider and they love to climb all over it, hang down, and swing from one bar to the next!
 Had a picture of the teeter tauter and thought the picture of my kids on it was cuter!!
 They have loved these RANDOM toys that are located on the front pad of grass and the back pad of grass all along the apartments. Another fun tid-bit about the apartments is any toys left outside is community property which is cool for the purpose of playing but you need to make sure to put your stuff up if you don't want people playing with it/with out your permission. But rumor has it the toys that are out have been here for ever and they have a random broken wheel or rusted like crazy so "they" are probably just glad to be played with still. 
And the GRAND FINALE is another great picture of what has brought us to Ithaca, New York. A hard working husband studying @ an amazing school! Wish us Luck!!
WE MISS OUR FAMILIES AND HOPE WITH ALL THIS FUN STUFF TO SEE & DO, WE WILL COAX SOME OF YOU TO COME VISIT! 
we just need to find some one who owns there own plane!
(and will let us use it)
LOVE YOU ALL!!
