Friday Night and Saturday

Friday night my friend Becky invited us to her friend Phyllis's farm to see the animals. We both though the children would enjoy seeing the goats, miniature horses, cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, pig, rabbits and everthing else Phyllis has on her farm. The boys had fun exploring and feeding the animals, and Kate liked the cats the best. She did have a face-off with one of the ponies though. She didn't like that animal very much and got kind of scared. They all had a lot of fun though, and it was nice to do something different on a Friday night.

Today, Saturday, I was anxious to get out of the house for a bit, so I thought I'd go driving looking for an amish store I had heard about that isn't too far away. Thankfully, Mapquest was right for once, and gave me good directions right to the place. It's a furniture store, but also has a lot of other items for sale. I tried a super cute prairie bonnet on Kate and she looked so sweet! I ended up getting her a winter scarf, and a little book of pictures of mama and baby animals. Afterwards, we stopped at our favorite popcorn store, Rural Route 1 Popcorn in Montfort. Antonio got his usual jalapeno cheese popcorn, and Devin tried the red and white colored Bucky Badger popcorn.

Devin and Kate. I could hardly get her to stay in the chair because she wanted to go and chase the chickens that were roaming free.
