Trippin'

Got my SD card back so now I can post the fun that was 8 hours in the backseat with Lila & Ethan.  It wasn't all crazy, the kids were actually so good about reading, sleeping and guzzling soda and treats.

We hitched a ride up north for my nephews baptism over Memorial Day Weekend and had to pay a visit to Rancho Zamora, my sister's home.  These horses are what the kids live for. Emry learned to run them and oh my goodness was she in heaven.

Animals abound here.  Rabbits, horses, dogs, cats, peacocks & chickens.  My sister Margo is an animal lover through and through.

 

 

Ethan spent hours using some tool he found to dig pictures into a dirt mound.  He was so proud of his masterpieces he made sure I snapped some pictures.

My sister is a great cook and made delicious enchiladas the night we arrived.  Home cooked food is so appreciated after food on the road.

 Sleepover at Uncle Aaron's house.  The kids had no trouble sleeping, I however blame my super comfy supreme mattress at home for turning me into a mattress snob and therefore not getting one good nights sleep. One night I came back from the bathroom in the middle of the night to find one of the big dog's taking up half my couch.  I didn't have the heart to move him so I just curled up in a ball and kinda went back to sleep.  Heavy emphasis on kinda.

Giddy about being together and having crepes for breakfast.  Us Mitchell kids grew up on crepes and the kids love them as well.

Lunchtime!!!!  The dogs always cracked me up, so hopeful, just waiting for food to drop.

Emry was taught the proper way to clean the horses hoofs, such a cowhand that girl.

 Get this boy some vegetables STAT.

Until next time..................
