Busy Day With Friends

From our playdate today this happens to be the only picture I took. Crazy I know! We went to the Farmer's Market and bought bunches of organic, fresh fruits and veggies. Then we went to the dairy to get our weeks supply of milk and to see the animals. Then we went to our house and played until dinner time. We ate grilled cheese sandwiches, cantaloupe, green beans, cucumbers and asparagus (all fresh from the Market). It was fabulous to be back on our Wednesday schedule with our friends. We have been out of town so long that we haven't seen them in over a month.

Weekly Milk Trip

One of these days I will get tired of taking goat pictures everytime we go get milk but until then, enjoy.

Annie wasn't afraid at all. She kept trying to reach through the fence to pet the goats.

Anthony is not afraid at all! One of the goats licked him and he screamed though. When I told him the goat was kissing him he felt much better and quickly forgot that he was scared.

Even Annie had fun. She really wanted to get out and walk but it was so dirty.

So, she improvised and played around in the stroller.

Daddy petting the nanny goat. This goat was soooooo old. When she walked her knees bonked each other.

Jaileigh and her bracelets. She had to be beautiful even at the dairy.

For our weekly adventure with the Fiore family we went to the local dairy. We orginally had a tour scheduled but it was raining and we were late so we skipped the tour. It turned out to be a good thing. I don't think any of our kids would have been interested in touring the dairy anyway. The dairy had a free petting zoo and they got to look at the cows. I ended up buying 5 gallons of organic milk for the kiddos at a great price. The dairy is about 9 miles from our house so I think I will start buying our milk from there.

It was freezing and it was raining when we got there. I was so glad I had my emergency supply of winter supplies in the car. It took me about 20 minutes to get everyone dressed. Anthony was the first so I let him out to look at the cows. He was so excited!

Jake got out next and joined Anthony.

Little Annie stayed in the stroller. I tried to keep the cover over her but she kept pushing it off because she couldn't see everything.

Jaileigh stayed in the stroller too. She is such a girl. She didn't want to get dirty or wet.

Michael in deep contemplation

Anthony was brave enough to try and pet the bunny.

These geese were MEAN! They kept hissing at us. I can't believe they were part of the petting zoo.

The boys.
