All kinds of fun

We had an eventful week starting off with a trip to the Splash Park, it has water coming out of EVERYTHING and of course our little girl loved it - she was soaked and had a hard time leaving!




We have about 8 dairy farms within a few miles of our home (yes, it always smells delightful) and one of them does tours, so we thought it would be fun to let Ashlyn feed some goats and a horse, pet a few chickens and rabbits and take a hay ride to look at a few thousand cows and what they eat! I promise Weston and I were there, I was just the photographer and he was sleeping the whole time anyway!!

friendly goat


The nice worker lady gave Ashlyn a carrot to feed the 26 year old horse!

So the horse kept staring at me and when I turned my back it licked my arm - Ewww


The farm had a 2 HOUR old calve and brought it over to the fence so the kids could pet it - SO CUTE


Blake's parents joined us with Trent & Robin's children*Henry was petting a chicken during this photo* (Robin had her baby girl "Paisley" the day before and the grandparents were tending the kids)... congrats Trent and Robin!


And to top off a great day we took Ashlyn to get her ears pierced and she was so BRAVE, she let them do everything to clean and mark her ears - she didn't cry until after and I think she was just a little scared, but once she had her sucker and saw her pretty earings she was ALL smiles and continues to tell Blake and I "I like earings, I like them"

I can just hear Ashlyn talking about how pretty her earrings are - so cute!!! I want to go to the farm when we come in December - the kids would love it.

Hey Andrea, cool splash pad, where is it at? My kids would love it there. Oh, and I love the new earrings. Madison wouldn't let me near her ears! How's life adjusting to two kids???
