After a cold early morning soccer game we came home and had hot chocolate. It was a hit!
Collin would always stay in his bed when he woke up and cry for me and Dave just like it was still a crib. Then he all of a sudden realized that he's free to come down whenever he wants. It was a cute milestone at first as he was very proud of himself (that's the picture below), now it's kind of a hardship as he knows he can get out of bed when he wakes up and when he gets put to bed. So we've been spending a lot more time working on that and hopefully will win the battle before the baby comes!
We took a field trip to a sheep farm on their shearing day. We were so fortunate to get there just in time for the baby cows and lamb to be fed. Anna was in just the right place and got to feed one of the cows with her big brother's help. I like how Benjamin has such a serious look here listening to all the info on the cows and Anna just has a look of pure joy!
The big kids got to have their first horse rides too. They've both been on ponies a number of times but never an actual horse. They were both fearless and loved it!
Anna, my little cowgirl, was in heaven!
Collin was terrified! He has been getting so scared of things lately....strangers, animals, flies. The animals (especially the sheep making all their noises) really upset him. My mom and I took turns holding him a distance away from all the big animals. He did enjoy making a crown from the weeping willow branch.
When he got scared we would come over and visit this little guy. He would pet this bunny and talk to him. It was pretty sweet.
You can't see it very well, but here are Benjamin and Anna watching the sheep get their summer cuts.
Anna wanted me to take her picture with these cows because she thought her Daddy would want to see that they were longhorn cattle.
* Special thanks to my mom for coming up and giving me back up so we could visit this beautiful farm!
