goats and more goats...

We were over to the Wolford Farm (Kevin and DaNelle's) a few days after they had helped deliver a new batch of goats...


...it was amazing to me how these little 'kids' could and would jump
 on and off the table every few seconds...


Angie tried to play it cool like she was all used to it...


...one finally got her attention by looking her right in the eye...


Kevin, Dora and Ethan are quite accustomed
 to all the shenanigans...


...so fun to live on a farm...

DaNelle guest posts on the Cabin...








When I saw DaNelle's post on our cabin trip, I asked her if she 
would be a guest poster for the trip....and she agreed!
  Thanks DaNelle...........

Summer means Cabin Fun!

We were able to take a quick trip to the cabin last weekend.  

I made some more "poptarts" from the recipe posted on the blog

HERE, but they were so rich so this time I used this recipe 

HERE for the crust...it's much healthier.  

In the green tupperware were some carob brownies 

I tried to make but they were way too sweet.  


In an effort to use up all our goat's milk we hurried and 
made some homemade strawberry ice cream.  
It was the PERFECT treat for the ride up to Strawberry.

Kevin really wanted to stop by the Early Bird Cafe on the way up
to eat dinner.  It was their all-you-can-eat Fish Fry special and 
Kevin sure got his fill.  The kids ate clam chowder and I had a
Shrimp platter. 
 We are seafood people in our family, can you tell?  I still don't
think this place even compares to HB's place! 
 Now THAT is the best food in Strawberry!

Driving through the small town of Pine on our way to Strawberry.

Ahhh, Cabin sweet Cabin!

We saw many critters this weekend.  Here's some scary-looking
 lizard with an even scarier tail.

Lydia found a caterpillar, and named it Miller.

Ethan and Grandpa playing a serious game of chess.

It's really hard to swing when it's surrounded by foxtail weeds :(

The "hideaway".

One pretty flower amongst the weeds.

Poor grasshopper hangin' on for dear life.

I've been wanting to visit the Fossil Creek Creamery for some 
time now because they have a million goats and make cheese
and all.  Lydia was mesmerized by those huge llamas.

This one was BY FAR the ugliest.  That's probably why it 
had it's own pen.

Hey, they milk their goats by machine!  NO fair!  
They were pretty impressed that we milk by hand.

Lydia just chattin' about goats and such with the
 grandaughter of the owners there.

Miller the Caterpillar.  And guess what?  The very 
next day she built herself a cocoon! 
 Can't wait to see the change!

Seriously THE BEST Pizza.
(do you see the goat milk fudge sign? hilarious!)

Mmmmmm....ooey gooey Pizza!

Pine is such a cute little town with a ton of shops!

Grandma and Lydia checking out the ravine next to the Cabin.

Playing some air hockey in the game room.  
we heard a little scuffle, what could it be?

YIKES!  A mouse!  They ended up finding 3 more!

2012 Pinewood Derby...

We got to go see Ethan's first Pinewood Derby...

It was pretty exciting...
I'm amazed how organized and high-tech it was with 'photo finishes' on the computer...automatic pairing for races...etc.



I think this was one of the races he won...

 Ethan's car was - by far - the coolest looking car there...
(the one in the middle...with flames)

....of course...donuts were a big hit...
