littleton museum = farm

this morning we went on a little outing to the littleton historical museum.  i'm sure they have some inside museum stuff but we spent our whole time outside checking out the 1800's homes, school house, barns, and blacksmith... and lots and lots of farm animals.  all for free.  it was fabulous!  but despite how fun all of the animals and historic buildings were, my favorite part was hanging out with chelsey, kelly, and jill.  baby's favorite part was hanging out with all their kids.  EIGHT other kids to play with?!  what a dream come true!

with griffin.  as i took this picture chelsey exclaimed, "oh, this will be awesome to include in their wedding video slideshow!"  love it.

the "doesn't need to go potty" group.  a bunch of kids in diapers plus one old enough to hold it.    we had a stroller party while we waited.

and pregnant chelsey.  i'm going to have a hard time not calling her that come june when her baby is out.

why hello there.  we think this was a mule.  we came to that conclusion after a long discussion of horses, donkeys, mules, and mating.

 

fat chance getting the kid to look at the camera when there is a gigantic cow three feet away.

griffin is covering is face because he's scared.  of what, you ask?

this guy.  which didn't scare kelly's kids at all.

who actually was kinda frightening looking.

tiny little lamb

so precious on his wobbly little legs

kelly and braxton.  and some sheep.

kelly's looking glamorous.  jill is equally pretty but must not have gotten the memo about smiling for the camera.  not my fault because it was so bright i couldn't see what i was taking a picture of.

playing in the giant wagon

with griff

oh how i adore my child!  she was so happy today!

with... ummm... one of jill's four girls.  i always get the middle two mixed up.

 

she may have cried a little bit when she had to get out of the wagon...

once again.  not gonna look at the camera when there's livestock around.

 we'll definitely have to go back soon before it gets too hot!

which speaking of, i'm attempting to make yogurt outside on my back patio instead of in a cooler.  crossing my fingers it works!
