Schnepf Farms

My Mom and I took the kids to Schnepf Farms also over the break. They had a lot of fun going on all the rides and kicking up dirt. It wasn't very crowded so that made it nice. I think Jackson's favorite was the playground. Avery's favorite was the bee ride because she got to ride with grandma.

Now this one was kind of scary because they ride it by themselves and it goes up and down. I was afraid that Jackson might jump out, but he did okay.I love this picture with Jackson's arm around Avery. Makes me think they do actually like each other. Or he just didn't realise he was doing it.

October Break

For October break Heidi invited us to the ranch. My kids have never been and I had only been once when Heidi and Fletcher were married. So we jumped at the chance to go, we just wished daddy didn't have to work. My kids had so much fun running around outside and seeing new things. Jackson loved looking at the horses. We took a day trip into Albuquerque and went to some thrift stores with the kids. Us moms spent some time crafting and enjoying each others company. Jackson and Avery got to ride a horse for the first time. Jackson just liked to sit on it and if it moved he would scream. Avery did like it and was very proud of herself when she was done. These are some pictures that I took around the ranch. Thanks for the good times Heidi! This is the old ranch house where Fletcher lived, once upon a time.

Jackson cautiously looking at the goats. The kids liked looking at the goats until we told them, "not to get to close they will bite your fingers off." They all seemed to scatter after that.
