A day at the farmstead...

Sorry for the lack of posting of late. It seems like the first couple weeks of school are so hectic - and it's a challenge getting back into the routine. But I feel like we're settled in a little and things are getting back to normal.

Of course, that doesn't mean we don't appreciate a nice long holiday weekend to get us all out of whack again! Emma's best friend Emme spent the night last night and stayed with us most of the day today. The girls have known each other since they were one, and second grade is the first time they have not been in class together. They have really missed each other.

It had been an absolutely beautiful day, so we decided to visit the local farmstead - along with about 75,000 other folks. But the girls had a great time. The day was filled with...

Feeding the goats


Mining for gold


Eating snow cones


And just hanging out


Now Emma is over at Emme's house...I half-suspect I'll get a call soon from my girl asking if she can have a sleepover at Emme's house. She loves her best friend!

Wow Donna looks like fun! Jade would have loved to feed a baby goat with a bottle! Don't you hate it when you have a great idea and 75000+ ppl have the same idea?? Doesn't look like the crowd hampered your fun though! Emma and Emme and too cute together!

Such sweet girls!! So nice that they have each other! And sleepovers -- we have not gotten to that point yet! Don't know if Maddy could do it unless I had a sleepover too! ;) Have a great week!

How sweet! :) It looks like a fun place to go for a really fun time. Did Emma end up staying the night there? Girls are so funny. I wasn't used to the constantly wanting friends overnight because my son wasn't like that. It must be a girl thing. So cute! Emma and her friend are so adorable!
