Visiting the Farm

Leave a comment
Its Springtime and our favorite farm is open again! We jumped at the chance to get out and explore, so we took the afternoon and headed out for some fun. Out first stop at the farm was the big cow bounce house. Let me tell you, there is nothing creepier then watching your children bounce around in what appears to be a cows stomach. But, they had fun and that’s all that matters, right?
After the creepy bounce session, we headed over to feed the chickens and then it was off for a pony ride! The girls love to ride the ponies and even though its only a few minutes it puts big smiles on their cute little faces. Ellie sits in her pony with such pride. You can tell she feels like such a big girl.
After pony rides we headed out to play on the tractor slide and then to feed the animals. Shaun and Ellie even spent some time in the petting zoo brushing the goats and snuggling with the bunnies. Abby wanted nothing to do with it but still enjoyed watching. It was such a wonderful day spent out on the farm. Nothing like fresh air and cute animals to make a day great.
Time to feed the chickens and make Daddy uncomfortable!

Easter at Underwood Family Farms

Today the girls and I spent the day with Erika and Harrison. Abby was so excited to see him and I think its because she calls him her boyfriend. Yup, you read that correctly… her BOYFRIEND.  Its a good thing we love Harrison lots and think he is quite the catch for Abby, otherwise Shaun might have his work cut out for him. Listen to me… you would think they were 25! Nope, just two.
When we first arrived, it seemed like it would be crowded but we lucked out. It was the perfect day. The kiddos climbed haystacks, explored through the wheat field labyrinth, went on an Easter Egg hunt, said hello to the Easter Bunny, ate some lunch, picked strawberries, visited the horses, went down the tractor slide and played on the big train. What a busy day.  Abby talked very seriously with the Easter Bunny too; telling him about the Strawberry Shortcake DVD that she really wanted. Ellie loved riding in the wagon and even got Abby and Harrison to pull her along. She really enjoyed trying to keep up with the bigger kids and was so proud of herself when she picked her first strawberry on her own.

 

 

  

 
  
 

 

 

 

 
 

The kids ran themselves out over a course of about 4 hours. I am amazed they stayed awake long enough to drive to the bank! But eventually everyone gave in and passed out on the way home. The day was wonderful. The one and only downside to it? The sunburns. We discovered the hard way that our sun block was well past its expiration date. Luckily the girls just had red noses but mommy didn’t fair quite as well. You live and you learn. At least I know what I will be buying tomorrow!
