Fun with the Cousins

We are so lucky that we live so close to Jake's family. My kids have such a close relationship with their Grandma and Grandpa, as well as with their cousins. We like to do lots of things together, and we're so lucky that we all get along so well! Our kids love each other!
A couple weeks ago, we went to Kelsey Creek Farm, to play, and let the kids see the farm animals. It's always so weird to me, that I have to drive my kids to a park to be close to the animals that were right out of my backyard growing up in Wyoming. That's just one of the big differences between city and country life, I guess! It was a beautiful day, and we had such a fun time. The next day, we all went together to a Midevil village in Carnation, but, alas, my camera did not accompany us. Check out my SIL's blog for pictures of that. It reminded me of the Renaissance Fair that Luke's sister, and brother-in-law are a part of on Gilmore Girls. (For all the avid fans out there. Ya know who you are!)
I try to keep Tristan happy in the stroller with treats, but, he's not a very good stroller rider. He would much rather chase after the big kids.

My kids checkin' out the chickens.

Smiling on top of the pig bench.

All the kids, minus babies, saying hello to the horse.

And, here's the giant pig wallowing in the mud. The smell totally took me back to my 4-H hog raisin' days. Can't say I miss it all that much. The smell is really bad. And, our pigs at least, were never very nice. My very first pig I took to Fair, fought with another pig through the fence, and broke her leg. Because of that, I couldn't sell her in the Auction. I cried a lot.
