Eating our lunch right outside the animal farm. We figured it would be easier to enjoy our food if we weren't smelling nasty animals while we ate :) Thanks for the picture Becca!

Jaylee was truly DWARFED by this horse. He was a massive animal - still beautiful!

Julie and Bailey enjoying the goats.

Becca was a HUGE hit with the goats. She started rubbing ears and they all came running. SO cute!

This week has been so nice to be home. I thought it would be a slow relaxing week, but instead it's been full of surprises and fun! On Sunday my brother, Brian, called and said he was going through the temple for the first time on Thursday. I was beyond thrilled! My sister Julie from TX decided to come and surprise him for the event. Her hubby was so great to let her come and so supportive - thanks Dave - it meant so much to all of us. So I was able to spend some fun time with my family again. It's so amazing to have all of us together! My BFF had her birthday on Wednesday which is always fun. I was able to go with my buddy Crystal to give her breakfast in bed and grafiti her car and plaster her front banister with balloons and a banner. Love you Min! SO FUN! Thursday was just awesome! I loved having all my family that was able to be in the temple there - Thanks Dave for sacrificing and watching the girls so I could be there with my family! After the temple we had dinner at Riverside country club - that had to be the cherry on top. I was so giddy because I had NO ONE I was responsible for other than myself. It was one of the most relaxing dinners I can remember having :) Friday we went to the Animal Farm at Thanksgiving point. What a treat! The girls LOVED it! it doesn't hurt that we got to top off the experience by having ice cream and having a late night with Grandma. We stayed at my parent's house until almost 11 last night! Thanks Bean and Amber for laughing it up with me. This summer has just turned out to be one highlight after another! I just can't belive school starts in less than 3 weeks! Better start living it up! :)
