Girls, Girls, Girls

The girls came to Boston - how excited was I to find out that the Jens and their families were coming to visit. This is a big deal considering they each have a little one, Jen is pregnant and the kids don't have a lot of experience sleeping away from home. Needless to say I was thrilled when Jen, Chris, Alexandra, Jen, Tom and Olivia showed up on Friday for a weekend visit.

I know my boys had a phenomenal time. I am going to let the pictures speak for themselves.

After a long day, the kids relaxing on the couch.

Four kids and my family room = tornado. All weekend I believe it looked something like this...I am surprised no one got hurt.

Birthday celebration for Olivia, Alexandra and Tom.

Blowing out the candles. I think that is Garrett's head peaking in because he wanted to be in the action.

Davis Farmland here we come.

Tom the "Goat Herder" and family. Tom's first job was to try to catch a young goat which escaped from one of the pens. His moves were lightning fast and even Jen managed to box in the goat. My favorite was Olivia feeding the animals and when they would come back to her, she would say "He likes me, he likes me."
Alexandra showed no fear and didn't seem fazed by the animals at all.

A family moment.
Feeding the animals.

The older kids in the wagon. Olivia was arranging all the feed cups.
This sheep took a liking to the boys.
Connor feeding the animals from his hand. After this moment, he went over to a cow to feed her. When her big tongue came out to take the feed, he was totally grossed out. He didn't expect such a big slimy tongue.
The little ones enjoying the spray park.
Alexandra showing Garrett how it is done.

I hope all the kids and parents had fun because I know we had a great time. Sadly, everyone went home on Sunday and then my boys took some very long naps. I think the girls wore them out. Come back and visit soon.
