The two highlights from this week included a trip to the farm and General Conference!
On Wednesday of this past week the kids and I went with some friends to Wheeler Farm. I had gone to Wheeler Farm on a field trip when I was in first grade and vaguely remembered seeing some cows being milked, but I honestly didn’t know what to expect–especially since admission was free. Well it totally did NOT disappoint! It was like the funnest outing we have had in months! A big part of the fun was hanging out with friends (for me as well as the kids), so thanks friends!
The kids sitting in the cow ride. We were cheapos and didn’t pay to actually ride it. 🙂
All three kids loved seeing the different animals, and there were quite a few! Even some babies! When we talked about it beforehand, Fay’s one desire was to see chickens, and we did! We also saw giant rabbits, giant turkeys, normal sized cows, horses, and sheep, and two calves and some lambs! It was so fun!
I didn’t think to get any pictures of the kids with the animals. But here they are looking super cute on this quaint hay truck.
Then we had General Conference this weekend! The things I love about General Conference are: all the things. I had so many beautiful insights and special manifestations of Heavenly Father’s love during this conference, and I just feel like I’m ready to go another 6 months!
We had one session of conference with friends and the rest were just us. The kids honestly did really good all things considered! Fay paid more attention this time than she ever has before, and it was special to talk about the messages with her while they were going on. I love my girl! And it is such a joy to see her developing her own testimony of Jesus Christ.
Conference is Cool!
Also, Josh went and did Priesthood session and man partying with his dad and brothers, and I decided we needed to do some fun stuff too! I asked the kids what they wanted and they decided on a picnic dinner, a craft, and to read a ton of stories! The kids seemed to have quite a bit of fun, and I definitely did!
Picnic dinner. Portia can put away burritos!
Then our bunny craft for Easter!
Fay did just about everything herself for her rabbit! I only helped with poking holes for the whiskers and cutting out the nose.
Carter and I did this one together. I made the ears look more like cat ears than bunny ears, but he was still pleased.
No pictures from the story time, but it was good with lots of Eastery stories. I’m getting so excited for Easter! This will be my first legit Easter mantel, and I better get crackin’ because we’re only two weeks away!
I love Portia and her burrito!
