We had a beautiful morning at the farm today. The babies all wore cute overalls but, alas, Amelia fell/ran into the duck pond and got all wet before we could get a picture:) Anne, did I thank you for saving her from going head first into the freezing water? Thanks friend for always having your eyes on my children too! Here are the pictures we did get before Mrs. Quack, quack, quack tried to go splash with her duck friends.
A hayride around the land. Sam's favorite part of our morning for sure. "Truck! Truck! Truck!" as he stared at the tractor pulling us around.
Echo loved the baby pigs. How could you not, really? They were almost as squishy and yummy as she is.
The ducks. Sam and Amelia adore them and apparently are not afraid of them AT ALL.
As you can imagine, there was much nieghing, quacking, meowing, and mooing from our little ones:) Though we had to make a hasty retreat due to Amelia's soaking wet clothes, it was a wonderful first visit to a farm and I look SO forward to going back.
There are so many things to catch you up on, but they'll have to wait. Our time with Tara and Echo is flying by way too quickly!! I am so loving their company. When Tara comes it seems as if she just belongs here...like she should always be coming up from the basement to walk to the park or to Whole Foods or to work in the kitchen together. One of my favorite companions of all time for sure.
Did I mention that Joelie is away? He was given the awesome opportunity to go here and grabbed the chance before work begins and time away during the week isn't possible. Can't wait to hear all that he learns!!!
Really must go. Hope you all are doing well, Jenny

How I love those little two-legged "Quackers"! They have grown up so much with ducks, I'm surprised their toes aren't webbed! How wonderful to see Ann/Vera and Tara/Echo...what beautiful babies all of them! I can hardly wait to visit the farm with S and A. gma
you're welcome! I think she would have done a full somersault into the water if she wasn't caught! what a fun/crazy day we had :)
we should definitely go to red butte - i can stall giving the extra carseat back to the neighbors...
