Chickens & Turkeys

While at the Ranch we got to go with Gwen to feed the chickens & turkeys and gather the eggs.  Sage walked in with Gwen and Reese carried Quinn in.  The egss were still warm when they brought them out.  There was one Tom Turkey and he had his feathers all puffed out!  He was very pretty and very loud!  Both girls loved seeing the animals and getting the eggs.  I think their favorite part was when Gwen brought a turkey out so they could pet her.  She was very soft.

 

Love this pic of them holding hands and Sage was so excited!

Big Gator

While at the Ranch there were lots of ride on the big John Deere Gator as well as the little one.  Quinn loved sitting up front like a big girl and Sage loved sitting in the back with Pop-Pop! 

Kid sized Gators

At the ranch there are kid sized gators to ride around.  Sage looks forward to these every visit and this was the first time Quinn got to ride them!  Well they both got on the gator and were riding around the circular driveway.  As they came around the first bend in the driveway Quinn fell out.  I had run into the house to grab something and when I came out Quinn was standing there screaming.  She had two big scrapes on her chin, blood in her mouth and dirt all over her.   Poor Kiddo.  After that she held on tight for each ride.  After Reese got the small tractor ready Quinn drove that.  She still needs a little help with steering but by the end of the week she was doing pretty good. 

Salsa

We went out for Mexican while we were at the ranch and it was a great dinner!  Quinn was loving the chips and salsa.  I think she ate more of the chips and salsa than her dinner.   She did end up spilling salsa all over the floor - oops!  Good thing they brought her out another bowl!

Petting Zoo

We went to a petting zoo with Mimi and Pop-Pop.  The girls had so much fun.  We got to see a bunch of animals:  lemurs, horses, camels, goats, parrots and bears!  Each of the girls even got to ride a pony.  This was a BIG deal for Sage.  This was the first time she wasn't scared to ride a pony and she did great!  We were so proud of her!  The previous time she had asked to ride a pony she had gotten scared and Quinn went instead.  But not this time they both went!  They both loved when they got to feed and pet the goats.   

Spring Break!

We got a great deal on flights to go see Mimi and Pop-Pop for Spring Break.  We were all excited for the visit but especially the girls!  Our flight was supposed to leave at 4:25pm and it was delayed until 5:15pm.  The girls were very anxious to get on the plane.  Quinn wandered over to the window trying to get a look at an "airplane"  She kept saying it over and over again!  They both were pretty good waiting for us to board.  We finally got settled on the plane after Sage had a meltdown because she wanted a window seat.  After that flight trip went great! 

Spring is here!

One day last week after we got Sage from the bus we came home and played outside.  It was a beautiful sunny day in the high 40's.  Both girls were loving it!  They ran around the yard, played on the playset and were so excited to be outside!

Legwarmers

This girl has been loving her dance class, they do ballet and tap in each class.  The recital is coming up at the end of May.  She is very excited to wear her new costume.  But for now she likes to wear her legwarmers to dance class!  

Easter Morning

The kids got up Easter morning and gathered up all the eggs the Easter Bunny had hidden in the house.  They all loved their Easter baskets and had fun going trough them to see what was inside.  We left for home that morning and the rest of the family went to church.  It was a great weekend with family!   Thanks Shelley and Tyler!  We love the house and can't wait to come back!
