Who Creates Madison County Kids?
We are a family of five plus two dogs. Our oldest is Hailey at ten. She loves to dance and sing and can't get enough of Frozen. She is a strong woman who is quickly finding her voice in the world. Clayton is two and he is growing into his own opinions. He likes to climb and help around the house. He loves talking about Paw Patrol and trucks. Our youngest, Mackenzie, arrived in January. We are busy getting to know her. We have two dogs named Mattie and Wiley. Mattie is a retired search and rescue dog and Wiley fetches like his life depends on it. The dogs were our first children and they are doing surprisingly well with the smaller additions.
I, Elizabeth, am the creator of Madison County Kids. As a mother of two and a special education teacher, I spent endless hours looking for inexpensive and educational ways to entertain kids. Since I was already doing research, I created Madison County Kids so other families could enjoy the information. Our family recently made the decision that I would stay home from teaching with our kids while awaiting Mackenzie's arrival. I've loved having time to dive deeply into Madison County and see what our community has to offer.
Nic, or Dad, is the sanity in our busy world. He comforts me when I am tired and challenges me when I am taking the easiest route. He cooks almost all of the meals, plans camping trips, and acts as the voice of reason when I am moving too fast. He also adds a unique viewpoint by advocating for diverse offerings, sports, and physically demanding adventures.
During the winters, Grandpa and Grandma live with us as well. Grandma brings her love of sewing and serving the community into our home. Grandpa shares music, cooking, and philosophy. They also bring their dog Midi who makes sure there aren't any bunnies in the yard.
In case you are counting, that is seven people, three dogs, and tons of interests in one home. We love the opportunity to live and learn as a multigenerational family while exploring Madison County. There is never enough for kids to do, but hopefully these pages ease your pain a bit and provide your family with some entertainment. I hope you will join us on our journey as we learn about all Madison County has to offer a family.
