Week on the Farm

Madelyn & Jack went to the farm on Monday.  They were so excited!  We have been counting down sleeps and they couldn't wait to see Grandma & Grandpa, the pigs, Milton, the bobcat.....the list went on!  Ryan met his parents at Sibley Park in Mankato and he said he couldn't leave fast enough - the kids wanted to be with Gpa and Gma.  They stayed and played for a bit at the park and then they were on their way to the farm.

What a fun week it has been on the farm!  They played with Milton, took turns sitting in the tractor with Grandpa.  This was the 1st trip where Madelyn actually did it.  It sounds like she was much braver this trip.  Jack was a little scared the 1st few times but he eventually got in the tractor with Grandpa too.  Jack was in the pig barn - from the picture it looked he was right at home helping Gpa! Madelyn's favorite part were the kittens in the pig barn.

Uncle Chris and Uncle Marc have been there quite a bit which has been awesome.  Uncle Chris played bat & ball with Jack and takes him anywhere on the farm he wants to go.  Uncle Marc is always up for whatever the kids want to do - it's like a party 100% of the time for our kids.  They have everyone's attention and everyone will basically do whatever the kids want!

Aunt Jody and Michelle (Chris' girlfriend) stopped by one evening.  Gma said that Madelyn was a little shy as I think it gets overwhelming when there are so many people there.  Never the less sounds like the party wrapped up around 10:00 and our kids were still up!  Aunt Jane & Uncle Jon stopped over one day and they went to an Elevator Appreciation Supper for ice cream cones one night.  Always so many fun things going on at the farm!

 

On Thursday Gma told the kids they would be heading back home and Madelyn requested to stay one more sleep because she was having so much fun and wanted to stay and play with the kitty :)  Soooooo, we met the Bormann's in Mankato this morning to pick them up.  It was a great week and everyone had a blast!  The kids can't wait to go back!!!
