A day on the farm...

On Presidents we took a little day trip to visit St. David. All them men took the jeeps and took of into the desert. And all the girls met up at the Merrill's house to let the cousins run wild. After going back and forth on going at all, Lee and I decided to pack up my kids and go. The only person that couldn't was Jer, he had to work :(

All these cousins have such a good time together. "Gogan" or Megan in the oldest and is the leader of the bunch. They all love to follow her around. She is a good cousin and plays her role well.

Here is little Mike. He turned 1 year old yesterday. You could desperately tell that he wanted to join all the big kids, but he was left in the dust.

Brittany's grandparent have a horse, some sheep and some chickens. I the afternoon we packed up the kids to go play on the farm. What a fun place to visit!

Bode loved all the chickens. I am sure they didn't like him becasue he poked them with sticks.

Little Laine was a good sport. She was all snuggled up in my ergo and slept the whole time.
Brittany told the kids that she would give them ten dollars if they could touch one of the sheep. Fat chance, those suckers are fast! The little babies are so cute. At one point all the kids lined up on one side of the field and the sheep huddled at the other. Kids vs Sheep. No one touched a sheep, the sheep won.

Here is Bode, Parker and Abbey having a go at it.

The highlight of the afternoon was the horse ride on Grey. Brittany was very kind and took all the kids for a ride. No small feat because she is 7 months pregnant. Thanks Brittany, Bode can't stop talking about the horse ride.

We were all pretty worn out by the end of the day but it was worth it. When we were packing up Bode kept telling me he wanted to "stay here". He wanted to stay so bad. I am glad the cousins can be so close!
