Memorial Day

We had a very fun memorial day! We always love when we get an extra day with daddy. We met up with the other Westons at the Reindeer Farm in Palmer after lunch and the kids loved it there! Kelsey especially was having such a blast, as she is my biggest animal lover. Tyler and Brynlee also really loved it, but Madison was pretty hesitant and scared. She always takes longer to warm up to animals, and just doesn't really care for them up close :). They got to hold bunnies and chickens, feed elk, a bison, and reindeer. They're still shedding their winter coats, that's why their fur looks all splotchy and weird in the pictures. They also pet some horses and huge dogs that were there too. On the way back home we pulled off at the Matanuska River and had fun playing on and under the bridge. There's just something about kids throwing rocks in the water! They never tire of it, and it's free :). After a while we came back here to our house and just played the rest of the evening. And Memorial Day wouldn't have been complete without a good BBQ and some warm apple crisp and ice cream :). Everyone was good and worn out by the end of the night. My kind of day.

Chasing chickens--this is how I feel as a mother! :)
