First Outing with 3!

We decided to keep with the tradition of seeing some animals just a day or two after we get home with a baby.  Saturday was opening day of one of local favorites, Prairie Farms.  Who can say no to free adorable farm animals?  It took a little longer and a few more trips back inside for forgotten items, but we made it out the door with 3! We ran into Jeff, Holly, Keira, Caden, and their new sister Zoey!  It was fun to quickly catch up on birth stories.  Ellie and Owen were quite independent as we walked around the farm. These 3 kiddos are mine.  Whoa. There was a snow cone truck parked close to the entrance and I’m a sucker for nostalgic thing like ice cream trucks, even when cups of ice are $3 a piece.  Ellie was SO excited to get her cup.  We had fun just sitting and letting these two be goofy!  All in all, a great first family outing!  

Hootin' and Hollerin' Hootenanny

Today was a super fun family day! The gorgeous 70 degree weather felt like fall instead of the end of July.  We love us a trip to Prairie Farms and so we've had this event on our calendar for awhile.  Today was their Hootin' and Hollerin' Hootenanny event.  It was packed full of people, story tellers, music, tractor rides, bounce houses, food, and of course, the animals.

notice Ellie's cheek now - she had a nice fall and now has a bruise :(

we waited a LONG time for this.  He was scared to go in, but then did awesome jumping!

Ellie wishes she could be jumping

He even went through the big kid "race".  I had to help him with the wall, but he did everything else!

All in all, a fabulous event and wonderful time just hanging out as a family!
