Avery and I recently flew with my dear friend Jenny and her girls Kylie (5) and Kira (2.5) to see my sister and her family on the farm. We had a great flight out followed by a 2.5 hr drive from the airport. It was a long day but well worth the travel to end up with Katie and her crew. Our first day there was filled with adventure. We went out to the barn to see the horses and feed the goats. We rode out there on the EZ-go. Avery is not a fan of the EZ-go, insisting ever after that we walk anywhere rather than jump on the EZ-go.
One Gun and Pistol in the pasture, across the pond is the house
Nearly all the kids saying hello to the goats
We got to watch one of the Jones' boys get Bessie ready for a cow show. If the cow wins the show they get more money per pound when they sell her at the end of the show.
The kids got to see Bessie do her business big time, this was funny to us city folk.

On the ummm, tractor? with Auntie Bee, Avery wanted no part of this activity but the others enjoyed checking it out
All the kids got to pick a bucket to bring some food to the goats, Avery picked the big red bucket
It was soooo heavy, thank goodness Auntie Bee came to help
Kylie checking out the goats
A girl and her bucket
Pretty little purple flowers in the grass, we don't see things like this in LA, at least not at our house.
After the barn activities, we went back to the house where a big trash pile was assembled for burning. We had ourselves a lovely bonfire.
Mazie, Kira, Avery, Elliott, Lucia and Kylie (note it is impossible to get everyone looking at the same time), patiently waiting for the s'more making to begin
Avery's first s'more, she sat for a good 20-30 minutes enjoying her s'more bite by bite while everyone else ran around.
It was a great day.
