Milburn trip

Now, some of you might be wondering just where Milburn is.... well it is about 5 minutes north of Fairview and it is where my Mom and Tom live. It is beautiful down there. Quiet, peacful and full of fun. We had postponed our mother's day/Easter celebration with my mom by about 3 weeks. We finally made it down there and played our hearts out. The boys absolutely LOVED it. They loved seeing all the animals and especially loved the room to roam free.

I have many pictures for you all to enjoy!! We played in a little stream (Jensen's favorite), the boys rode the horses (for a little bit less than 30 secs. they were scared). We had a boys vs. girls scavenger Easter hunt-every year my Mom puts together a scavenger hunt where we have to find the eggs with clues and it leads us all over the property....this year my Mom added in a couple obstacles that we had to do which included riding the lawn mower in a certain direction, shooting cans with a BBgun and roping a rocking horse. Of course the girls won :). We also had a mini Easter egg hunt for the boys, which they thoroughly enjoyed. It rained for a little bit, but that was ok. We ate lunch during that time. We left around 3, drove the hour ride home (where the boys screeeaaamed for half of that time then fell asleep the last 25 minutes) they were grumpy the rest of the day. But it was all worth it. Can't wait for the next adventures that we have out there. Thank you Mom and Tom for the fun time. We love you!!

p.s. brad is in the shirt with the blue stripes on the sleeves and Jensen has the white stripes.

Here we are playing with the animals. The boys were a little nervous about their dog Sage who was trying to lick them alot, and about the goats...especially Hank the male who STINKS...I guess he likes to pee on himself (which is normal for male goats to do).

Here my Mom is getting the horse ready for the boys to ride... Jensen enjoyed the horse for about 20 seconds longer than Brad.




Here we are walking along the little stream that was made from all the water we have been receiving. Jensen and Tom started having too much fun walking in the water/mud. They were splashing and Jensen kept purposely falling down. He was soaked by the end of our walk and extremely muddy.



Yes, Jensen is putting his muddy hand in his mouth. Eeeeewwwwww. His mouth was full of mud and he didn't care!

Now, here the boys are after they were bathed and we all ate lunch. They are searching for their easter eggs.


I didn't get any pictures of the scavenger hunt because I was participating and wanted to win :D
Uncle Derek and Tom on the 4-wheeler purposely scaring the boys with the loud noise, and Brad is playing croquet.




Here we are now back at home playing outside. The boys were trying to chase our cat Chewy teh whole time.
And here are just some pictures from around the house...you have a purple tulip, lilacs, a snail (which was actually pretty big) on our rhubarb plant and a rhubarb flower.
Oh, also our whole trip down to Milburn the boys were pointing out every truck or construction equipment the whole way down, and we have to acknowledge them otherwise they get mad at us. We have to say, "oh, do you see a truck?" and then they are satisfied. Cute. :)
