Loretta raises lambs and she has a few that have to be bottle-fed. Quinn and Jonas got to feed the lambs. This was a highlight of their day.
There is an old pioneer cemetery on the property. It is a tradition to hike the mile or so out to the cemetery and clean it up.
Along the way someone found a nasty-looking lizard that the kids felt it necessary to hold...
Some of us pulled weeds...
while others 'supervised'. :)
One of the best things about days like this is that everyone in our family has fun together. It's not easy to find activities that make everyone happy from the youngest to the oldest, the girls and the boys, and even mom and dad.
Sam was so busy entertaining himself that we hardly saw him. But we did capture one picture of him riding the 4-wheeler. (Just so you don't think I'm crazy for putting my 3 year old on a dangerous machine operated by a 12 year old, Loretta's rule is that they go below 10 mph. Sam and his friend Spencer were very responsible with the little ones.)
Every little boy's dream - mud to play in. (He only fell in a couple of times.)
It was a flippin' great day! Good food, good friends, good fun.
