Family Day! (part 2)

We went out to tiny Wheeler, Texas this Saturday to have a family reunion of sorts. My grandfather and his wife came out to visit and it gave some of the cousins an excuse to meet up! We all have little ones and it was great to see how much they all have grown! Finn had a good time playing with his cousins. I'm not sure if my family wants pics of their kids on the internet, so I won't post any pictures of them, but they were all pretty stinkin' cute!

Our Day in Arcadia

Scott had Sunday off, so we thought we'd have a nice family day. We went out to Pops in Arcadia for breakfast. It's sort of a diner/gas station with over 500 different kinds of bottled soda. It's pretty neat. Afterward we came back home for a while so that Finn could nap. Sharyn came over and brought ANOTHER slide for Finn (This makes a grand total of 4 in the backyard). However, this one is a bit bigger than the others. It took the 3 of us at least half an hour or so to put it together, but it was well worth it. Finn got a little "surprise" when he woke up from his nap!

All of us then trucked it back out to Arcadia to go to the Parkhurst Watermelon Patch. It had rained the night before, so it was a wee bit cooler than usual, so we thought it would be fun! The Patch is kind of out in the country and they had a hay ride (I should have thought that one through before getting my pregnant butt on a bouncy trailer!), a petting zoo (Finn's favorite), giant sprinkler, tire swing, and hay fort. They also had pick-your-own veggies and watermelon, but we didn't partake. Finn absolutely LOVED the petting zoo. I think his favorite was the goats. He just kept saying "Hi goats!" over and over. And he really loved feeding the pig and horses. We ran out of feed, so he just kept trying to give them hay. We will definitely be going back in the fall for their pumpkin patch!
