Saturday's visits to two farms...





Ellie's horse of preference (below)

Yes, they're actually allowing kids to throw hula hoops like a ring toss on this poor horse's head. I limited Ellie's tosses because her skills were so lacking, it didn't seem kind.





(above) A neat way to recycle used horseshoes... let kids paint 'em!
(below) Ellie's favorite part of the day was riding with Reed Gouge behind this pair of horses.



(above) Thanks to Maria, a cabinet member and coordinator of the day's activities, for taking this photo!

Later in the day we drove out to Charley and Jackie's Palisades Pointe Farm for a BBQ with our adoptive families group. Ellie was so excited to go and see chickens (I have no idea why, though I had to admit, when I saw them, they were pretty chickens).

Just days before the event, one of the Neals' goat had delivered a baby... Reni loved it!



When it was time to leave, this is where I found Ellie ... chasing the chickens. I hope they laid eggs the next day!

How cute!! I am glad to see the three of you are feeling better! I hope Nathan gets on top very soon!

*I am proud to see Ellie supporting the mighty BUCKS!* ;)

What a great day! I bet the kids were tired...you were probably just as tired, yeah? And the goat-it is so cute. I would love to have one of those around the house until it started to eat the curtains.

I absolutely love the picture of Reni holding the kid's face! That one is a keeper. So sweet. Looks like a great time was had by all and hopefully Nathan was able to rest. Praying for you all.
