Cherry Crest Adventure Farm--How to have a HeartAttack!

Here we are again at soon to be an annual stop for us. The kids loved it...again.

As far as having a heartattack--I can not begin to explain the amount of stress one undergoes watching kids "hold" baby chicks--we are talking days old. I about died--Dan did too. It stressed us out so much watching the kids with the chicks we had to cut the encounter short. I can only imagine how many chicks are harmed each year here. Check out Everett's face and you will see exactly what I mean.

Pics of the Cousins Week

Here are some pics with the kids during the week we had their cousins at our house. We went to the horse farm TWICE, Hershey's Chocolate World TWICE, BOUNCEU, and the wildlife preserve too. Check out the cute kids! Alyson, these pics are for you, to use for your Paris album showcasing how the kids "vacationed", as Sheila called it, in Lebanon.

NEWS!

A week of cousins...

So we are watching my brother's three kids while they are off vacationing in Paris. The kids LOVE it. It is so fun getting to know them better. And I am getting a taste of what having 5 kids might be like...! Also, my cousin Dede brought her three kids the other day. Here are some pics of our full house. Please forgive me for the mess in the kitchen--quite embarrassing, but a great pic of the kids.

House Landscaped..only the beginning... and some grass

So two weeks later we have some grass. We also were able to finally put plants and trees in. We got some mushroom soil, which I tilled into the beds. Then we planted our plants and topped with black mulch. We are excited. Hopefully we spaced everything good enough--I do not like the look of overgrown landscaping--I am not a hedge fan. And we LOVE flowering plants, inspired in part by my father's yard. Note: our garden off to the side. It is not nearly the size of the one we had in AZ, but it will have to suffice for now. Also, the home is built next door--last of the builder's in the neighborhood, that will be nice too--for them to be done with that area in a few months.

House Pre-landscaping and grass...

So we have finally come to the grass/landscaping part of our home. It is SO nice now seeing green outside our home. These pics were from April 28th--when the builder placed the two landscaping rocks in our yard and the same day they seeded the lawn...a little over two weeks ago.
