Mother's Day Weekend Farm Visit

We went to the farm last weekend. I took the camera but never took it out of my bag. These pictures are ones I took on my phone:

Andrea read Chiara Fox in Sox while Chiara stuck her tongue out at the intrepid camerawoman.

Grandma brought in one of the chickens for Chiara to pet.

July Farm Trip Pictures

We were supposed to visit the Farm over July 4th weekend but did not get to, so we went last weekend. It was a very good visit and we got to see the three goats that were born the day we arrived. But before we left, Asher had a chance to teach us all some of the dances he learned at summer camp.


At the farm:
Chiara loves to play "phone." Here the phone was for Mama. I can pretty much promise you it was Nernie calling.


And Chiara got her groove-thing on.


While Rachel mucked out the barn (yes, that's really a thing), Chiara took her nap. When she stirred, I picked her up and she slept on me another hour plus.


Asher played Rush Hour with Andrea and Sudoku with Grandma.

Farm Pictures Part One

We got home from a really good farm trip yesterday. It was Chiara's first time there and she of course, had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the computer to upload some of the photos or blogger to upload them or something... I was having enough trouble that I just decided to split the post into two parts. The second will be up in the next few days when I have a chance to choose pictures and upload them successfully. In the meantime, here are a few pictures.

Isn't this a great picture of Chiara and Grandma? We have a picture of Asher at a similar age wearing that onsie and playing with Andrea at the farm.
Asher of course got to ride his horse, April (or big April as you may want to call her given that she's quite a bit bigger than the April he plays with and sleeps with). He took a pretty spectacular tumble which I didn't get a picture of but he didn't hesitate to get right back on.

And he was happy to have his sister on April as well. In case you're wondering, Rachel is holding Chiara with her right hand: she's not just letting Asher hold his sister, much as he would like that.

And here's a cute picture of Chiara. I was trying to get a picture of Asher petting and hugging and kissing the brand-new horse (born Wednesday I think) but I couldn't get an angle. But cuttie-pie Chiara turned around to look for the camera.
