We went and visited Shaun's parents this weekend- in part because it was Mother's Day and in part because it was Jacki's Birthday, and my sister in law, Jeni had put together a surprise party for her! I didn't tell my kids because I was pretty sure they would have spoiled the surprise...
During the day leading up to the party, we spent the morning baking cupcakes and my brother in law, Chase and his wife, Dani started cooking dinner for our big shindig. But to kill our afternoon hours, Papa took the grandkids over to a neighbors house to have a look around. These neighbors have put together pieces of an old time pioneer type village. They have a working blacksmith shop, carriages and a carriage shop, a rope maker and hay rides.
The girls talked Papa into taking them for a walk down to see the donkeys...
And all of them were pretty excited about climbing into one of the old time carriages that had been restored. I love their goofy faces...
It was fun- and the kids definitely wanted to stay longer. Maybe next time...
As we were leaving, we had to wade through a pretty big patch of TALL grass and weeds- which inspired Ryan to pick me a "Dandy". Ryan loves to pick me dandelions and will stop ANYTIME he sees one- its kind of sweet. To date- myself and his hair-stylist, Jamie are the only ones he has ever given the flowers to. I love it!
We played outside for the rest of the day... Here's Kate and her cute cousin Deja throwing grass at each other... Girly girls right? NOT A CHANCE!
