Fun at the "farm"

We got to take a trip out to Grandma and Grandpa R's house last week. We have been trying to get out there since Critter was born, and Aunt B and I finally had a day both of us were free! It was SO MUCH FUN! I had no idea how the kids would act around such new experiences. Man, they fit right in though. Pumpkin loved it! She dove right into the life and would not stop asking Grandma R questions about everything. Luckily Grandma R loves teaching about the animals and what everything is about. Hubby even had the day off so we all got to go. What a day. Hopefully it will not be another 15 months before we get out there again!

There were 4 duck eggs that needed to be collected. Pumpkin jumped up and volunteered to get them. It is hard to see but Aunt B's head is about to the top of this cover and then Pumpkin had to climb in the hole in the corner to get the eggs. She was sad there were not more to get!
Feeding the chickens. She got more eggs here too! We got to take home 18 fresh farm eggs from the R's. BUT...Pumpkin will not let us eat them. They apparently have to be for Easter. :)

Feeding apples to beautiful deer.

With all the animals and nature around, of course Critter finds stairs to climb and an apple to eat. He was content doing this for quite awhile!

She was fascinated watching this tortoise eat his apples, of course she had to keep him company eating one too!

She did so well on this horse. She was not even nervous. Since she was the tallest of the kids there that day she had to sit on the saddle and wait while they adjusted the straps. She just sat and talked with the horse and asked Grandma and Grandpa R questions. It was great to see.

I just wanted a picture of Critter on this horse but after sitting up there he started rocking back and forth (something he does in the stroller when he wants to go forward or faster)....so he got to ride the horse as well! He was loving it

Daddy got to take a little ride on a horse to see how much he remembered from his little bit of training. The horse was not quite big enough for him, but they both did well! :) Critter got a kick out of seeing his dad ride the horse too.

A picture of the future! These three will be causing trouble before we know it. Thanks to all who made our day out there so much fun. Hopefully we can do it again soon :)
