A weekend with my girls.

Matt and Kaden took off on Thursday afternoon for "The King Cabin" for "Work Weekend". This is a time once a year where all members of the cabin are expected to be in attendance to do fixing, and cleaning, etc. If not, there is a fine. Since our last load of chickens were expected to go out on Thur. night, and Uncle Mark was actually in town, it worked out for Matt and Kaden to go...while Mark kept things to a dull roar here on the farm.

So, the girls and I started our weekend with a trip to the "Hands on House" Children's Museum, in Litiz?, I guess? It came highly recommended by my sister, so we met up with her, and her 2 kiddos, Jaden (3 1/2) and Reese (11 mo).

This little game was talking about germs, and the idea was to see how many you could "zap" in 20 seconds, or something...kept everyone occupied for a good 5 min? :)


One of the first stations, was a face painting station. Aunt Meg first painted Campbell's face to look like a lion. On the second time around, Campbell decided to add some paint of her own. I think she would have been occupied at this station the whole 1 1/2 hours we were there.

Kaycee's favorite things there were "The grocery store" (which is where this picture is taken) and the "big dress up pirate ship." Behind her is a sandwich station where kids can put together different kind of "fake" sandwiches. They could shop around with real shopping baskets, and fill them will real canned goods, and cotton balls, etc, and then check out at a "real" cash register. It was very fun.

Here is Campbell manning the register...someone is trying to pay for their fish. :)

One of the last stations we went to was where you could snap together your own go-cart, and race the little car down the track. They all got into it, even Auntie Meg. :) It's no wonder she loves this place, as she is a teacher, and there were many teaching opportunities here.


An effort to get a picture with the girls...Has Campbell had enough or what? She still wanted to be painting her face. :(

This is running around outside in a little garden they have there, with a sandbox, and climbing apparatus'.

And this is Kaycee posing in a posey...It was a great time. We went there because kids were free after 4 pm on this day. It was kinda crowded....guess that's why...in our recession and all. :)

I think Campbell was way overwhelmed, although she did love the store, well...and the water fountain. Kaden would love it!

Expecting Matt and Kaden home within the hour. Looking forward to the re-adjustment for everyone back to real life. :)

I must say our 2 pre-mature baby goats are still alive and seem to be thriving. I somehow kept Millie alive, AND played with , Horse watered and the other critters happy. Way to go me! And who was wondering why I looked so tired at church this morning? That's a glimpse of why. :)
