Forget the mini-van

Tanner wants a mini-horse. We went to this cool little petting farm that a woman has set up at her house every Thursday. She had a million goats, a calf, peacocks, horses, a bunny, guinea pigs and a few chicks. Tanner loved seeing and petting all of the animals and riding Cricket the most. If he could I know he would have said "can we take her home?" It was a funny little outing for the evening but fun nonetheless.

We have been enjoying little trips or outings since we don't have a vacation planned this summer due to Mike's new job. We packed up the kids, dog and a picnic on Friday to celebrate Mike's day off! We went to a beautiful local park and had a blast. They have a swinging bridge, waterfall and a beautiful trail to get there. We went with our friends, their 4 month old Owen and Stanley their Golden Retriever too. We were quite a sight to behold, adults outnumbered by kids and dogs, yikes! Tanner loved to play by the river and throw rocks, he is such a boy! He was so cruddy, he is an outdoorsy kid for sure already, thank goodness! We had such a great time, we are so lucky in our area to have access to so many wonderful parks and FREE stuff to do. It just takes a little time to find it.
