Fun Day Out With Cousins

Allary and I went to a fun park with Trisha and Jenna, Chase, and Paige. The weather wasn't all that great, but the kids had a fantastic time anyway. There was a petting zoo...

...A place to learn about the pioneers, tour their homes, and do some good old-fashioned hard work.

Paige and Allary teamed up to work the wheelbarrow and nearly ran me over as I was snapping the photo.

Just doing some laundry. They could pretend to wash, hang out, and iron these clothes. It made me very grateful for my washing machine, dryer and other such conveniences.



They got to ride a fun little train around a duck pond...

...Play on a ship...
...Check out some Native American living quarters.



...and even go on a pony ride. This was Allary's second time on a horse/pony and both times it has scared her pretty bad. She only goes because she sees her cousins wanting to go. Her horse was doing some weird snorting/coughing/shaking thing her whole ride and she was a little freaked out. But, she just held on tight and put on a brave face, at least until she ran out and got back over to me. I'm proud of her for being so brave and being willing to try things, even things that make her a little nervous.

It was a really fun day.
