Dirt, Slime, and great friends

We went to Lazy 5 Ranch with The Melissa and Brook's Smith family and also Aaron and Kim Blackham family. We were able to do a hay ride with everyone. The hay ride brought you up closer to the animals so the kids(yep, kids not me!) could feed them. There was no way my hands were getting close to all that slime that was coming out of those animals mouths. The kids and dad's didn't seem to mind. Even Brooks got daring enough to touch the animals tongue. That was to much for me. I loved it when we got there and were eating our incredibly fancy PB&J sandwiches and all of a sudden there was this wild parrot that decided he was our friend because we had food. And got on Chris's arm and then mine. We tried to get him on Christopher's but when we wouldn't feed him the sandwich he didn't want anything to do with him. I am okay with birds on my arm they don't have slime. Matthew held onto his bucket the whole time and by the end of the ride had almost the same amount of food. He loved holding his bucket. Jack-Jack loved watching the animals and would get excited when we got close to them. Christopher and Ethan had so much fun feeding them. We had a great time with friends. Totally worth going. Blackhams on the Left, Smith's on the right. Sorry Melissa it looks like you are nursing even though you were just shading your month old baby out of the Sun. Thanks Melissa for putting that together. What a blast.


















I totally look like my sunglasses are grandma style in all these photo's but they wouldn't stay up on my head the whole day. So I had to post some of those to remember the full experience.

Rach, you look awesome! I know you have talked a little bit about following some sort of plan. I would love to know what you chose to do. I still have baby weight to go and it gets so frustrating!!! I love seeing the fun you are having with your kids. They are so cute!
