GARDEN HIKE WITH BRITTANY & KIDDOS

Brittany and her family came and stayed with me for a night this weekend. Her husband Mark is building my parents home over here, so I will be seeing much more of her. So much fun! Our kids have a fun time playing together. We took the kids over to Shore Acres and went on a short hike and went to the gardens. It is always fun to go to the gardens because the flowers are always changing each season. It was a beautiful sunny day!

The trouble maker

On our way to visit the Hladky's we stopped to watch elk. It was kind of neat to be so close to them.

We spent the day with the Hladky's...Grandma made a great lunch and then the kids played outside, took rides on the tractor, Grandpa took us on a tour of the christmas tree farm. Then back to ride horses and then some dinner....it was a day packed full of fun.

It's been a long time since I had been on a horse, I really enjoyed it. Would of been helpful if I would of worn tennis shoes versus flip flops. :)

Me and Kaden, he was a little nervous in the beginning, but he was having fun by the end

A couple weeks earlier we were at a party at my mom's with some family friends...any reason to get together to eat. Alex was taking pictures this day...
