We had so much fun on our trip to Washington! Mark, Kerri, Lexi, and Tanner were so much fun! The kids had a blast!

Here we are at the Olympia Farmers Market! Hayden,
Kelton, Tanner, Lexi,
Halle, and Kara!

Farmers Market Treats! Picture by Hayden

Me,
Halle, Hayden, and Kara! Brent did not make it on our trip with us and
Kelton refused to get in the photo!

This is what
Kelton was doing while we were posing!

Kerri and Kara on the beach!

Lexi and Hayden being silly!

Grandpa worried that he is going to have to go in after
Kelton!

Hayden and Kara arch enemies, just kidding, but it is actually nice to see them hugging, since they have a little more of a head butting relationship!

My little
Halle on the beach!

Grandpa and
Halle! Grandpa and Grandma were so much help! We appreciate all they do for us!! Hayden and
Kelton road with Grandma and Grandpa to and from Washington, a 10 hour drive from our home! It was such a beautiful drive it really did not seem that bad!

Tanner, Kara, Hayden, and
Kelton on the pier! Good thing Grandpa did not see this he might have had a heart attack!!

Tanner played and played and played and played and played with the kids! They just could not get enough of him!

More fun!
Kelton decided that since there are so many trees in Washington then that means that they have more air to breath! He also was excited to see Mark and Kerri's home because since they live in the forest their house must be built completely out of wood. He was excited to see what a wood washer, dryer, and pillow looked like! He liked the house even though there was not a wood washer and dryer or pillow!

We took a little trip down the street to a farm close by the Wright's home. I think if we lived in Olympia we would have to visit this daily!

The little chicks and ducks! Poor little
Kelton got really sick and so missed the farm! When I got home I took him to the Dr. and found out that he had Strep! Poor guy! He was such a trooper and even had a fun when the
Motrin kicked in!

Peacock

Brody,
Halle , Kara, and Hayden looking at the brand new chicks. They even got to pet them.

Feeding the chicks was a little more painful! Little Brody actually got pecked by one of the chickens, but he was a tough guy, and did not even cry!



Kara thought the goat was going to bite her, but she still wanted to feed him!

When she discovered he really just licked you she was in heaven!
Halle too was a little nervous about feeding the goats!

Excited too!

Little Brody was so cute hugging Hayden!

More Hugs!

More hugs!

And More HUGS!

Braver!

The pig was a little harder to feed, but we wanted to make sure everyone was fed!

Hayden got into too.

Loving it!
Halle and Kara outside the Farm! Kara could live on a farm! She absolutely loves the animals



It
definitely takes
concentration!
There was a cat that had just had kittens and was in a cage! There was also a dead bird in the cage (which left an
everlasting impression on my animal lovers). The cat hissed at the cage when I looked in and so I did what any brave mother would do and I screamed and jumped back!
Halle later told Grandma "We saw a cat and it scared mommy and then mommy scared us kids."


This goat jumped over the fence and stole that bag of food from Grandpa! Yes Grandpa, not one of the kids!

They had homemade donuts and the best Apple Fritters ever! Me and Grandpa were trying to watch our waist lines and just share one Apple Fritter, but after one bite Grandpa went back in and bought a dozen, so much for watching our waist lines!

Lexi's Graduation!
Doesn't Kelton look like he is having fun at the hands of his brother? What a patient guy
Kelton is? If you get punched by
Kelton you
definitely deserved it, because he is unbelievably patient with people that are annoying him!

Lexi! My niece! She is so cute and fun! She painted the girls fingernails and toes and they just loved her!

Halle and Lexi!

Here is the whole group! Tyson and Heather and their cute little boy Brody! I just have to say that little Brody is so cute and I think I could laugh all day watching him run from thing to thing and mimick everyone! Plus he is so happy and has the cutest laugh! Me, Natatlie, Mom, and Dad, My kids, and THE WRIGHT FAMILY!!!
The trip was great! The drive was beautiful. The company was even better! The Wrights took us to dinner and also had a great Barb-que for Lexi on Sunday! It is hard to believe that Lexi is graduating! Mark also took the kids for a ride on his cool motorcycle! I took so many pictures at the farm that I missed taking pictures of some of the other activities. I 'll add them once I get some of the pictures from Grandma and Grandpa!!
