Hello! We have been busy hanging out with the family. We visited a goat farm with Patricia, went on dad's boat, and had Jesse's dad, Dave, his wife, Connie and her grandchildren, Maddie (8) and Taylor (5) visit. Oh, and the kids had horseback riding lessons. Patricia's grandson, Mitch, is in town for the week also. Lots of good times!
The goat farm was a lot of fun. The "goat lady" as she is called, has 37 goats on her farm. She loves her goats as if they were her own children. She bottle-feeds them as needed and has named all of her goats. The kids got to feed the goats from their hands. Joseph was a little concerned at first, and the next thing you know, he was feeding them out of both hands!
On Father's day, we had Belgian waffles with dad and Patricia. Then we went on a boat ride and they came over for dinner. A great day!
On Monday, June 21, Jesse and the kids drove to Atlanta to pick up his dad and family, who flew in from Texas. We went to the pool, had pizza downtown, and dinner at Dad and Pat's on Wednesday. We all went to the Biltmore in Asheville (2 hour drive) and toured the house and winery. On Saturday, we went to Bryson City (1 hr drive) and took a train ride. That was a lot of fun! Jess had rented the caboose for us (Dad, Patricia, and Mitch came too) so we had a lot of room to walk around. Also there was a crow's nest, which is seating upstairs on both sides of the train, enough for 4-5 kids. They really enjoyed that. The views were amazing.
This week, we have gone to the pool with Mitch, took him to the rock park (he really liked that!), and to Fun World. Abby got to go white water rafting with Jesse, my dad, and Mitch. She had a blast. We have a fun weekend coming up! Happy 4th of July!
