Our Trip to Amishville

Warning: This is a very long picture heavy post.

In no particular order here are the pictures from our farm trip/campout last month.

The calf would suck anything you stuck in its mouth, fingers included. It was a weird sensation and your had came out covered in goo.

K-dawg enjoyed all this kissing etc waay too much.

Cute little Becky feeding the calves. This was the little girls' job.

This is Katie, she is adorable.

This is Maddie, Abners wife. I love her, she is a cool lady and we get along so well that we are going back to visit in August.

Some family pictures where we all look mostly decent, no blinking or goofy smiles. (L does look a little creepy....)

Karley has Ray Bans, doesn't everything look better through rose colored glasses??

We decided to test the theory on ourselves.

Before.

After. OK not so much on humans but on scenery it works wonders.

We asked some other visitors if they would take our pictures and after they took a few they were like, he do you wanna take a picture with Annabelle? Um ok sure. What really sealed their weirdness was that they didn't even know that Washington state grew apples. But they were from Jersey so, you know.

We paid a visit to the chickie house where they are kept under warmers, they are so cute!

So cute that we wanted to gobble them up......

or at least have a little nibble.

Averie and L duking it out over a stick horse.

Early morning dew, so gorgeous! Although the farm is louder than the city. I kept waking up thinking that I was hearing someone crying or whining. It was just the animals.

Mary was sweet enough to give all the kids a pony ride, back and forth 100 times.

Xan playing with one of Abner's nephews, their whole family of 7 kids has this bright blond hair and they are so cute!

One of the beautiful things about this trip was no shoes for 24 hours. I love going barefoot and that is something that I miss when I am in the city. We tromped through all kinds of crap (literally) but it was great. Their kids are always barefoot, the only place that I wouldn't go barefoot was into the cow barn, old hard poo and fresh poo are two different things. But the cute little kids go all over barefoot. Maddie was telling us that she will often go to the store with the kids having forgotten to have them put their shoes on!

This is Karley's foot that is sweetly holding Xan's head from bobbing forward on the way home.

It was a great trip and I can't wait to go back!

Happy Burfday Can Man!

29 candles are a lot to blow out!

But when you're only 29 its not that hard. Now if you were turning, say 33 that would be a whole different story ;)

We went on a little date to celebrate. We ended up in Times Square, don't ask me why (ok, the restaurant we went to was there) but we made the most of it. Can't you tell how excited this horse cop is that I'm touching his ride?
