Randall Oaks Petting Zoo

Today, we went to Randall Oaks with Grandma, Uncle Jon, Auntie Kir, Evie and Zachary for some barnyard fun. We got to feed the animals, play at the park, and have a picnic. While there were a few minor mishaps, including Meredith getting her finger nipped at by the Emu (please don't worry as she is just fine and it only took about 5 minutes of some tears before she was ready to feed some non-biting animals again), overall it was a fun day!

BFFs.......


Uncle J showing us how it's done...


Feeding time...

Getting a closer look...

Meredith was trying to feed this alpaca one piece of food at a time...


Caleb enjoyed playing the "now you see me, now you don't" game...


Meredith enjoyed popping her head through and yelling "cheeeese!"


Duck-watching cousins...


Before the emu attack, clearly.


Pony rides...


NO, I am not pregnant....the wind was blowing my flowy shirt....


Teeter-tottering...


Too little to feed the animals, but certainly not too little to enjoy the sunshine and the breeze and the grass!

Wordless Wednesday: Big Girl Swing

Our 4th of July

We spent this year's 4th of July out in Roscoe, and had a great time. The Phillips clan is in town, and that always makes for some extra special memories.

The kiddos had a lot of fun playing in Grandma & Grandpa's yard...

Caleb loves watermelon...


Evangeline appears to like the watermelon as well!


M does not like watermelon, but is a big fan of corn on the cob!


It was a perfect day to play in the little pool/sprinkler (in other words, it was HOT!)...







Caleb and Great-Auntie Deb plotting to get Grandpa with the hose...


Caleb and Meredith love taking turns on the big wheel...




Caleb and Evangeline really liked throwing the Snappers onto the driveway and hearing them "pop"!




Meredith liked helping Daddy hold the Sparkler...


We hope you all had a great Independence Day as well!

Happy 4th!
