Great Grandma and Grandpa Wharton's!

Yes I am still going strong on my story of our week long vacation. I don't want to leave any detail out on this great week we had, so here goes the story of the last leg of our trip. We had such a great time but I have to say that I think both sets of grandparents are in on a plot to fatten all of us up for some reason. Not only did we get feed just about every thing under the sun but were told to have seconds and sometimes thirds! I don't know how either of these two plotters stays as skinny as they do. (;

Now on to the rest of the trip. The pictures that I have are sadly the only ones that I took of the few days we were there with Grandma and Grandpa Wharton. Sorry that doesn't mean I didn't go overboard because I took a lot of pictures. This is because we got to go out with Grandpa to feed his horses. When we told the kids what we were going to do they were so excited. Though I don't think they even imagined just how much fun they were going to have. Here are the photos I took of all the smiles and fun we all had together.

As we started to make our way to the fence all the horses came running to us, knowing it was time for dinner.

So after Grandpa got the hay out here is Keith helping Mckenna and Eli. Mckenna at first really didn't want to feed them she just wanted to watch. Eli though put the hay right up to the fence so the horses to get to it. Here is Eli telling the horses it was time to eat.
Here Grandpa let Eli help him carry the hay on his pitchfork.

Finally Mckenna was brave and gave the horse some hay but as you can see she wouldn't get very close to the fence and made the horse come to her. So Keith would hold her and help her feed them.
Soon the hay was gone but Grandpa showed us that the horses really like the long grass that they can't reach outside the fence. So we started feeding them all the grass we could pull.
Here are some trouble makers! Keith, Mckenna, Eli and Grandpa Wharton having a break on the fence.
Here are Mckenna and Grandma, don't they look cute together!
We tried to get Mckenna up on the fence with us to take a family picture but by this time she had had enough.

The next day we got to go to the zoo. I of course forgot my camera and so I missed all the great photo opportunities we had there. I know, I know, I am a terrible blogger! Though despite my forgetfulness we had such a great time with the Wharton's. The kids still talk about all the fun they had there.

Last but not least on the last day we headed over to see Lynette, Dave and Caitlin. It was really good to see them and see their beautiful house in the mountains. They had some toys for the kids so they were happy until for some strange reason they started to fight over them, and also Caitlin's attention. Eli still talks about visiting that one girl in that big house some day. Sorry Caitlin he is too much like his Mom when it comes to remembering names.

But this picture of them is as we were driving away because I had left me camera in the car and had to get a picture of the three of them before we left. Classic!
Thanks everyone for letting us take over your lives and your homes for a few days. We had such a great time and we hope you did too because we can't wait to come and see you all again!
