Family time weekend!

For the first time in months we finally spent some time together as a family! Russ had Friday off and it was a gorgeous day here so we took Ansley swimming. At first all she wanted to do was lounge on the chairs like she was sunbathing. But then we finally got her to come to the water. She didn't really want to get in the water (weird because every other time she would have practically jumped in by herself!) but she did enjoy dipping her feet in and acting like she was going to jump in from the edge...which FREAKED her Mommy out! :) In the end we had a fun time and enjoyed the sunshine!



Then Saturday we woke up to another beautiful, warm day and decided to take a trip to Lattin's country cider mill and farm. They have a lot of farm animals that you can feed along with a farmers market with fresh produce and homemade foods. Ansley LOVED feeding the goats and Sheep. There was also a huge pig that isn't friendly (according to the signs) so she couldn't touch it but she really loved him. After we looked at and fed the animals we went to the market where we picked up a bunch of produce (about 10 apples, carrots, dried apples, garlic, a huge head of lettuce and some cherries) Along with a few donuts (they make the most amazing homemade donuts, especially their apple fritters!) All for $15! We decided we would definitely go again soon since we get great produce at a fraction of the cost and Ansley has a great time!




There was this gorgeous Peacock with a tail larger than any I had ever seen and what made it even more interesting was that you could tell he was trying to mate a female that was in the pen with him, something neither Russ or I had ever seen. It was fascinating to watch him try to get her attention! I don't remember Russ ever putting on that much of a show to get me! hahaha :)


So, all in all it's been a fun filled weekend and tomorrow is the summer kick off BBQ at church. It really is so nice to have Russ home with us. This weekend wouldn't have been the same without him.
