Fun on the Farm

We were home for less than 24 hours and I packed up the kids and hit the road again. This time our destination was my aunt's house in Ashland, VA. She lives in a gorgeous house on a farm out in the country. There's land, cows and a general peacefulness there. I love it! We love, love visiting them and so even though it was another car ride it was totally worth it. We arrived just before dinner and the kids were excited to be able to get out and run around. Jacob was in heaven. He loved being able to see the cows that roam the fields behind the house. There's also train tracks across the street so between the cows and trains he couldn't decide what was more fun! He would climb up on the fence and point to the cows and then whenever he heard a cow moo he would yell "moo" right back. So. Darn. Cute!

Tuesday we headed to Maymont which is a fabulous park in Richmond. We saw tons of animals...bears, fox, horses, sheep, birds. The kids loved it though Lily got a little tired of the walk. We enjoyed a picnic there too. After Jacob napped we headed to a family member's pool and had some fun swimming.

This morning Jacob, Lily and I headed back home while Julia & Emma stayed at the farm for a couple days. I know they are having a great time!! And when they get back it's almost time for school to start!!
