Yeehaw!

We have been very lucky to find such wonderful preschools for our boys to attend.  I have two great schools to choose from and I am completely happy with both, if anyone needs a referral. 

Each year, this preschool class has a field trip to Rockin' R Ranch.  The kids LOVE to pack their own lunch and go visit the cowboys.

They start the day off with a show and songs.

Hunter does a really good Indian impression.

Then we separate into groups and visit 6 different stations.  At this station they got to learn some signs for words.  Here they are learning how to sign "bison".

This little guy is just happy as can be when he's in mama's arms.

They got to use the grinding stone.

Walk inside a tee pee.

Draw their own brand.  Looks like Hunter is going to be a lefty!

Practice lassoing.

Used the water pump.

Posed for some pictures

And panned for "gold" (unfortunately it wasn't real). 

My sister, Ashley came to help me out with the boys since Sabrina couldn't make it.  It came in real handy when I had to take a break to feed the baby.

I was nervous to go on this field trip with Adam. 

He would be missing a nap (which I hate to do to my kids)

and I would have to find a place to nurse him. 

 It all worked out great and he stayed pretty happy!

After the ranch, I had to go to the dentist, unfortunately.  You know when you make those appointments 6 months in advance and find out about this field trip a week in advance, it's kind of inconvenient.  I didn't even remember about my dentist appointment until I received a courtesy reminder call the day before.  The office is right next door to Rockin' R Ranch.  So, Ashley helped me once again with babysitting all 3 kids in the waiting room while I got my teeth painfully scraped and poked.  It is probably one of my least favorite places to go.  That includes the OBGYN office.

We were all pretty tuckered out after a long day.  I usually don't like to plan so much in 1 day.  We get tired if we are away from home for too long.  I was very happy when it was time to go home for the rest of the day and I could change into my PJ's!!  I really wish it was more acceptable to wear PJ's outside the home.
