Rachel and Zeke took a turn, then Karis got to ride. The helmet was a little large, but it worked!
Poor Mr. Moo. It just wasn't happening with the helmet . . .
But that didn't stop him from taking his turn!
More Mr. Moo craziness. He's as strong as a little ox, and we've discovered that he loves to hang on things, including basketball hoops.
I know he looks totally unhappy in both pictures, but honestly, as soon as we get him down he wants to go up again!
Friday was such a perfect day, we took a family trip to Carriage Hill. Our original plan was to go to the "Me Zoo" in Indiana. But as we got ready to take off, Danny checked online for the hours and found out it's CLOSED on Fridays. So . . . on to Plan B. The kiddos loved seeing the pregnant pig, chasing chickens, petting little lambs and especially playing in the old-time schoolhouse / kitchen area. They made us all kinds of interesting meals with the fake food.
Mr. Moo walked around sporting not one vest, but two!
I love this picture of Moo & Danny - matching strides.
Fun on the swing
We let Rachel try her hand at photography.
We ended the day with a family bike ride, which lasted until Danny got a flat tire. But for the first time, Rachel was able to ride her bike and keep up with us. (She kept passing us and got pretty cocky about it until she had a big wipe-out!)
Now we just need to find a day when the Me Zoo is actually open!

I love the last picture, she was not going to wait on all of you, lol!
Good to see you all enjoying yourselves!
I'm loving the baby hangin' from the hoop! :)
did you let the kiddos pick out some penny candy in the candy store at Carriage Hill? That was always the highlight for our kids. :)
Mr. Moo will surely be another LeBron. I have seen him "dribble" at the table many times. In fact, I have seen him dribble everywhere all the time....
hey, tell rachel she's a pretty good photographer!!! :)
chris - that's funny!
Margaret - yep, we always hit the penny candy store. How can you not, when you get several bags of candy for about $1.80! Of course, then you have a van full of kids on a sugar high the whole way home. Maybe next time we'll go to the candy store FIRST.
Ma - you haven't even seen him the past few days. It's worse than ever. And he's suddenly determined to give me lots of big, slobbery kisses on the mouth. After one of these, i actually had drool running down my chin and onto my chest!
I LOVE the last picture of all you (except Rachel)! You look like you had such a fun day together!
