Our day with Daddy!

Since Kendahl was gone for quite awhile, we decided to take the kids out of school for a day and be together as a family. We decided to go on a picnic and visit Dauset Trails. It was a perfect day - the weather couldn't have been any better. And I think we saw 4-5 other people the entire time we were there. We basically had the place to ourselves. We love Dauset Trails - it's so nice to be out in nature and get to see so many different animals!


The kids decided that they didn't want to sit on the picnic benches because last time there were Daddy Longlegs crawling all over - so they opted to sit in the back of the van and eat their lunch.

There are huge fish in the water. Kendahl was fascinated. He stood there forever. I kept thinking... let's go! I think he wishes he had brought his fishing pole.

Kaylee with the deer. Can you spot it?

Konnor saw these geese off the trail. So he went to see how close he could get to them. The entire time we were teasing him and telling him that they were going to bite him. He got as close as he could and then...

...something must have spooked him because he ran for his life. As you can see, we have no idea what spooked him because it definitely wasn't the birds!

Rare pics of kids with Mom. I'm generally behind the camera (on purpose!)

My little sweet pea.

The entire time we were walking along, she would say, "I have a GREAT idea! Let's take a picture right here!" And then she would stand there and pose.

Kamryn checking out the otters. She wasn't phased by most of the animals - until they moved. Then she would start crying.

Daddy and the kiddos.

Feeding the goats is one of our favorite things to do at Dauset Trails!

Kamryn loved the goats too. Oh wait. Maybe not.

Kaylee throwing food to the pigs.

The kids watching the pigs eat and listening to them snort. We won't talk about the smell.

As we were heading back to the car, Kenna stopped along the way when she saw these daffodils. I told her just to look at them - but before I could stop her, she picked one for Kendahl and one for me. It was a nice (illegal?) way to end our day together. :)
