Fun times!

This weekend we had so much fun! On Saturday our friends Erin and Jeff came up for the afternoon (the girls love them!). The guys went to the driving range, while Erin and I stayed with the girls. Then we all went for wings!

Sunday our friends Kathy, Peter and their daughter Claire (soon to be 2) came for a visit from DC! They were able to stay until Tuesday evening! We had so much fun with them! We played with the kids, went to Chipotle, took the kids to Chuck E Cheese (it was Claire's first time!!), and went to Wagon Trails! http://www.wagontrails.com/ The kids loved it - it is an hour long 'safari' through about 60 acres. It is located about 25 minutes from us in Vienna, OH.

They have cows, water buffalo, bison, ostrich, deer, elk, pigs, goats, kangaroo, camels, llamas, zebra and ponies. They give you buckets of feed you use to feed the animals from the wagon! Kaelin of course LOVED it! Hailey was funny - at first she wasn't impressed, then she tried to reach out and pet the animals. However, if she actually was able to pet one, she started to cry! We all had so much fun - Justin and I think we are going to go again in the fall -they are running a special for the fall. You get the regular safari and then an additional ride on a hay wagon to toss apples to the animals for the same fee!

Anyhow - here are some pictures from our fun weekend. Also for those of you haven't heard... Hailey is officially walking :). She did take a few steps during our trip to Alaska, but when we got home it seems she forgot how. Last Monday (7/13) she not only remembered but started walking about 3/4 of the day! Nothing can stop her now; except the dog, sister, cousin ....etc. :)

Kaelin - feeding the goats and donkeys.

Peter and Claire (I LOVE her hair - it is so curly!)

Hailey trying to pet the elk's horns - they were all velvet.

Hailey tried and pet the baby camel - and then she cried.

Kaelin used her Chuck E Cheese tickets to purchase this crown. It came with the jewels, but you stuck them on yourself. She had me peel off the sticky paper on the back and then decorated the crown all by herself. I think she did an amazing job!
Hailey is a daredevil! Here she is standing in the car (yes she has a buckle on). However instead of holding the steering wheel, she is holding the dashboard!

Claire is driving :)

So fun! Congratulations Miss Hailey on walking, you and Jacob need to get together for a play date now that you're both walking. And I love Kaelin's crown, very pretty!
