play play play

We have been playing quite a bit this last week.  Peter's sister Emily came into town from Houston, with her two boys Wesley and Sam.  They came up for a family reunion.  These pictures are all a little out of order but I'll provide an explanation for each one.

The above picture is Violet at the Lattin's Cider Mill and Farm yesterday.  We took like 15 pictures trying to get her to look at us....this is as close as we got.

At the Cider Mill you can buy a small bag of animal feed and feed the goats and chickens through their fences.

Well one Goat was not satisfied with the speed at which we were feeding him and stole the whole bag out of Wesley's hands.   Wesley is 2 and half....scroll down to see his reaction......

Ha ha haha...I couldn't help but laugh when this happened.  Wesley got another bag of animal feed for free after he explained to the lady what had happened and the rest of the visit went off without a hitch.

Peter loves little Sammy boy.  Here they are at the beach.
Violet loved the Ocean, here she is devising a plan on how to get back in the water.  The trip to the beach was part of the Corier family reunion out at Camp Bethel which is about 1/2 hour from the beach.

Violet at the Farm, she liked this chicken.  We scared the other chickens and they flew all over the place, there were a few accidental egg layings after we left!

Violet and Wesley took some chalk out to G&G Corier's front porch and left them some beautiful artwork.
Here is Wesley explaining how the wooden airplane works to Violet.

We took the kids to the little playground in the mall,  Violet had a blast!  Sam really figured out how to crawl through this tube.  Poor Sam had to go buy some new pants though,  he's growing so fast that his jeans were too tight to sit up on his own!
I love this picture.  It took several tries to get this shot because neither of the kids wanted to sit still long enough to smile at me.

One hot Saturday, Violet and Grandpa David got a big idea...The filled up a pool and V went for a swim.
She loved every minute of it!

Here's a good one of Wesley in the yard.

It's been a great week, I think we are going to the Zoo tomorrow so be watching for some more pictures of our adventures!
