Fun on the Farm!

Last weekend we headed to the O'Kelley Farm for bluebonnet pictures and some fun with the Pratis and Davises.  Sadly, there were no bluebonnets, but there was no shortage of fun!

We arrived Saturday early afternoon, and as we pulled into the driveway, the littlest A made sure we knew how carsick she was.  Thankfully that didn't slow us down!  We headed straight for the animals... Here we are posing for a horse pic, while Anna is about to poke Goose's eye out:

Next up... the cows. Avery was a little hesitant to feed them at first, but thankfully Aunt Carrie took over so Mommy didn't have to. :)

Anna wasn't quite sure what to think about feeding them. She didn't take her eyes off of them and spent lots of time saying "MMMMMMM" (translated - Moooooo!)!  I spent most of my time trying to make sure that Anna didn't eat the cows treats!

Back to the barn... here are the kids kicking "smoke":

And posing on the hay:

After several attempts, this was as good as it got!

Avery headed back to visit the horses...

Despite Carrie's encouragement to wear close-toed

shoes, the Mr. decided to rebel:

Sunday morning we took some family pictures and headed out for a few mule rides to see the farm.  When I asked Avery what her favorite part of the weekend was, she quickly said, "Riding the bumpity car!!"  Here she and the boys are ready for their first ride...

Group pic!

Anna needed to ride too.  Thankfully for everyone,
she didn't get car sick this time!

Doesn't get better than this... DRIVING the bumpity car!!

Truthfully I had no idea how my princesses would do on the farm, but thankfully they had no problems getting dirty! Avery jumped right in with the boys - at one point, I turned around and saw Avery holding a cup full of roly polys! Never in my wildest dreams (or nightmares!??) did I think I would see Avery holding a bug in her hand! (No idea what got into her since her parents are not big bug people. :))

The girls played HARD, and all of the kids played so well together. Avery crashed less than 5 minutes after we got in the car and slept the entire way home!  Anna... not so much on the sleeping part, but at least she didn't get sick!
