Parkey's Farm

I haven't posted in a while because I haven't taken any pictures. Here are a few left over from 2 weeks ago when Oliver and Ani visited Parkey's Farm. Oliver got to ride a pony, which he loved, but I couldn't take a picture because I was helping him stay on the pony. I also didn't manage any pictures of the kids with the farm animals. By the time we got to the barn, Oliver was busy chasing all the chickens and ducks and trying to ride the goats. Not to mention trying to eat rocks off the ground near the llamas and pigs. I couldn't manage the camera and the toddler...

The U.P.!!!

Sam had a week off, and we went to Paradise! Michigan, that is. The weather was perfect--sunny and cool. Great for sweatshirts and jeans. Maybe a few too many mosquitos...but with enough bug spray, I could cope.
