The Great Outdoors

Today (Tuesday) Hayden and I went to Wheeler Farm with Michelle Anderson, her kids (Abbi and Ty), and her cousins (Dylan and Adam). We had pizza, breadsticks, strawberries, and cookies for lunch--hey, at least there was some fruit involved in the menu, right :) Then we fed some of the leftover bread to the ducks and geese.

We also discovered that the ducks weren't fond of pepperoni and pizza sauce.
Giddy up cowboys and cowgirl! The kids loved the animals...we saw cows, horses, pigs, goats, chickens, sheep, and rabbits. The treehouse also kept them pretty entertained. For some reason, being in a closed space like that causes a chain reaction of screaming (don't worry, it was happy screaming).


On Sunday afternoon, we took a trip up to Silver Lake with Dan. It was such perfect weather and nice to be enjoying the outdoors. Hayden loved checking out the fish and the mama duck with her ducklings. When the ducklings swam underneath the boardwalk, Mama hopped up looking for them. As you can tell from the picture above, she's apparently pretty comfortable around people.

Say cheese! This was about halfway around the lake where we were looking for squirrels and chipmunks.


As we were getting ready to leave we saw moose. I was so excited because I've never seen them in real life before.


Hayden took this picture from the hood of Dan's car. He's such a good little photographer!
