Farm Park Time!!!

We have been waiting patiently for the Farm Park to open in East Peoria. We love our trips here. Animals everywhere and plenty of fun stuff to do!

We met our fabulous friends, the Becks, at the park on May 8.

Charlotte and Kaedence were so excited!

Anytime Charlotte sees "baby" anything, she is IN LOVE.

Baby ducks.

They have a big cow with "udders" that squire "milk". So, clearly the kids LOVE practicing "milking" the cow.

She is a natural.

This is a big deal. Charlotte isn't a fan of feeding the animals. Even though she wants to be an "animal doctor" when she grows up, she is still scared to let the animals eat out of her hands. She's getting REAL close here!

The three older kids and some random girl trying to be part of our group. Sorry, blue dress girl, members only.

He LOVES the animals :)

 

 

I LOVE this one.

Kaedence loves horses. In fact, she will randomly tell you "I LOVE horses." This place is awesome to her. And these horses are like her favorite part.

Giddy up!!

Look at this walker!!! She toddled all around the farm park....trying to keep up with the big kids, and trying to run away from mommy the entire time.

Here is our crew!

Maegen came prepared with candy.

She is becoming quite the daredevil at playgrounds.

 

These two crack me up. Charlotte having attitude. Normal. Kaedence with a horse. Normal.

 

It's always a blast :)

Kaedence talking to the pony :)

The two babes milked the cow.....or played in the gross liquid that comes out of it.

 

 

 

We had so much fun playing at the farm park. We took a picnic lunch. Everyone got full then we headed home for naps. It was finally perfect weather and the day couldn't have been more perfect....

Is The Weather REALLY Getting Warmer????

We had an awesome little Friday down at Grandma's house.

Papa came down to spend the day helping plant and hanging out with all of us.  He misses the farm and loves to come down and check his multiple farms that he owns down by Grandma. Clearly Sawyer was extremely excited to get to ride around in the tractor with Papa.

 

He. Is. Obsessed.

That's a good looking tractor :)

This boy loves his Papa's truck and his Papa's tractor....

We were so excited that all of the cousins came out to visit us while we spent the day at the farm. All of the great grandkids came to see Great Grandma.

She is a ham.

 

This boy and his hair...

Look at this handsome boy!

 

Grandma and her five great grandchildren...

The boys.

I love this one. Everyone is doing their own thing and Grandma looks so happy.

 

Baby Alana...the baby of the crew until June!!

All of the great grandkids LOVE the gator.

Pretty girl Kyla.

How funny are Charlotte and Kyla. They are really trying to crank out a smile right now.

 

We had the first wienie roast of the season!! Melissa loves her a good wienie roast so she planned one for us. Dad and Uncle Jim spent the day planting but were able to join us later.

 

We had a delicious spread...

Sawyer was so proud of himself for roasting his first hotdog with help from Sis...and Caleb was there for some assistance.

So cute!

 

The farm as the sun is going down...

Oh boys....always playing with the gator or things that have motors or move.

How sweet is his little face???

 

Even Mallory was able to come down for the roast. She brought her sweet dog, Buddy. Charlotte LOVES dogs and is obsessed with Buddy.

When you're the best of friends....these two are maniacs together. They love each other.

 

It was an awesome night. Mary and Chad came down so that I could take maternity pictures for her. They took part in the wienie roast and hanging out by the fire listening to the uncles and dad be hilarious. The perfect Spring night!!!!
