Kentucky Trip

We missed out on Hudson's birthday party over the weekend so we decided to go down for a visit this week.  We thought it would be nice to go and stay a while.  We loaded up and headed out mid day Tuesday.  

The kids always do so well in the car for me.  We tried something new this time and I checked out a few audio books from the library.  First up was a Boxcar Children mystery.  Ryker was immediately hooked!  We stopped just over half way for a potty break and lunch.  We arrived mid afternoon while Hudson and Cord were napping.  We settled in and visited with Aunt Kate a bit before they woke up.  They were all so happy to see each other.  We headed outside to check out the cows and play.

 

Hudson loves a good selfie with Aunt Mamy.

The best part for the boys is always the cows.  They are obsessed!

Riella loved getting to swing.

Uncle Dave came home and took all the boys for rides on the 4 wheeler before we came in for baths.

These two shared a bath. Aren't they so sweet??

The boys had a hard time falling asleep the first night so it was a late night.  Cam was still snoozing away in the morning after the rest of us woke up.

Then it was back outside for more time with the cows.  This is one of the calves Ryker bottle fed the last time we were there.  They are off the bottles now and Ryker helped Uncle Dave feed them their new feed.

They got some good cuddle time in with Josie and Annie too.

I LOVE this picture.  It's fun watching Hudson mimic the boys.  He thinks Cam hung the moon.

Speaking of Cam, he decided while we were down there he was over diapers.  He kept taking them off and going to the bathroom.  Hoping this means good things in the future.  

We got up this morning and started packing up.  Kate and the boys drove up toward Cincinnati with us and we stopped at a placed called Otterville in Covington, KY.  It's a children's museum/play place.

It's all imaginative play based. The animal hospital was our first stop.  We had a hard time getting them out of there.

While we got food for lunch, this guy started looking kinda rough and fell asleep like this. He refused lunch and sat on the floor the whole time we ate.

He bounced back and was fine while we played outside. The fishing attraction was so much fun for the boys.

Proud fisherman!

They had sandpits to dig in, and this water spraying area that they all had a blast in.

We headed inside to play in the indoor playscape/ball pit area before heading out.

Kate and I enjoyed some adult conversation while Cam and Hudson played.  Ryker was back to acting puny and laid down on the bench and fell asleep again.

She cracks me up!

Riella wasn't as amused by her antics. ;-)

Ryker felt really warm to me and I wanted to get some meds in him so Kate followed us to Wal-Mart and stayed outside with the kids while I ran in to get some medicine.  I gave Ryker some Tylenol and we hit the road.  The kids did great on the way home too.  Of course, they both said they would've rather gone back to the farm. They love it down there!
