Favorite things...

There are some special things about Kentucky that my kids always look forward to: playing with cousins, eating Graeter's ice cream, painting fingernails with grandma, visiting the farm, and riding on grandpa's lawn mower.   

 

James and Bryson really bonded during our stay.  Always inseparable, even during mealtime!

Cuddly Ruth cozied up on grandma's lap during general conference, which resulted in a nice nap!

As mentioned, we always enjoy Emily's farm.  She was so sweet to take us on a tour while we were there.  The kids were even issued nice rubber boots!

  

David especially loves the animals.  The best part of the farm tour was cuddling these sweet baby bunnies.  Emmy is hiding between my legs and shrieking for fear!  Did I mention that it was freezing cold at the farm?!  I am so grateful that I grabbed the children's coats the last second as we were leaving California. We got more use from our coats during our one week stay in Kentucky than we have during our entire winter.

Love this picture of Emily as she demonstrates the frustrating process of catching a cow.  The cow seems to know that she has a vaccine in her back pocket.
