Will and baby Ryan. Mal and Ryelle.I thought it was so cute that baby Ryan reach out to pet the llama ish guy, ( I dont remember what this guy was called but it seemed to be in the llama family)
Casey and Amanda's Baby Bennett kicking it in the jeep.
This was a massive accomplishment to have Benjamin ride the horse...as much as he loves animals he is an extremely cautious boy. We have enjoyed Farm Country many times over the last 2 years and he would talk about ridding the horses in excited anticipation, and we would wait in line, and we would watch his friends ride with out him...and then at the last moment he would freak out and opt for the carriage or tractor ride instead. One time we went I held him while he screamed and cried while the horse-or pony really-circle only 2x's before I had to take him off. Out of the numerous times we have attended farm country this is the first ever he has happily rode the pony.---Yes with Dan walking along side him. Maya was the real cow girl living her dream she would even hop off the pony like a pro. Porter was also just as talented. After watching the kids with the animals Amanda-Maya and Porters mom said, I think we would do well to live on a farm.
Maya The horse whisper.

These calves and Benji became pals. He stayed to pet and feed them for quite a while, and when we finally pulled him away the 2 calves m00ed at him 3 times to come back. It was so cute.
Porter milking the cow...Every one had a turn to milk the cow, every one participated except Benji and I... OK so maybe he gets it from me but...I have had the opportunity milking the goats my mom kept growing up and I didnt ever really enjoy that. Just something about the whole procedure...Milk is great in ice cream and hot chocolate but I dont need to...go there with my hands.
So this is what we are eating tomorrow?
One of the many wonders a Grandmother can perform...She sent all the adult kids out for a date night, Will and Nicole, Casey and Amanda, Robbie and Brisa, Mal and Chelsie, Dan and I, While she entertained the kids with decorating a ginger bread house. When we came home the house was spotless, ginger bread house on display-how did she convince them not to eat it?-Porter, Maia, Benjamin, were sleeping under a fort in the living room ( i love how they all have their heads together in the center of the fort) and 2 out of the 3 babies Ryelle, Bennett, Ryan were sleeping in their cribs...Grammy was also asleep.
