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....

A Busy Little Saturday

On April 12, 2014, we had a busy little Saturday planned.

 

We started the morning off at the Christian Union Church in town. They had an East egg hunt for people in town. Papa came up and met us for a few minutes. Aunt Bare came to help me out with the babes.

There was a lamb and it's momma there.

The kids were obsessed.

There were eggs everywhere!!!

There wasn't a lot of hunting required. It was more Easter egg "pick up" than anything.

Kaedence and Maegen were there too.

 

 

We saw Carter and Mason there too!

 

Look at all of these eggs!!

Love these two beauts.

K and Maegen. So cute!

Our crew of babes. Kaedence, Charlotte, Sawyer, Mason and Carter.

After the Easter egg hunt, we stopped by Uncle Poop's house (which is only a few blocks away). Papa and Poop were doing yard work. We showed them all of the candy.

Look at that long hair and silly face!

We got lunch and took it home. We did naps and got ready and headed down to see the Heflins.

We love visiting them at their new house!

These two. They are hilarious!

Just hanging out at the wood pile.

Alex met us down there when he got off of work. Cleary Sawyer was so excited to help him carry the beer in.

We hung out outside in the BEAUTIFUL weather. The kids were ecstatic to be outside. They ran around like crazy and played and played and played.

Sweet baby Em....

We ate a delicious meal (between Alex, Jodi and Derrick the kitchen was a buzz with stuff going on.)

The kids played some more.

Aunt Jodi even gave them dry erase markers to write on the windows.

We brought our jammies and we spent the night so that no one drove home after drinking any alcohol.

The daddies and the mommas hung out outside by the fire and had grown up time.

 

We had an awesome day. We had so much fun. The day ended perfectly.

 

And to top it all off, we finally had some great weather!!!

Happy Spring :)
