Dairy Farm Field Trip

We took a trip to our local dairy farm today, which was sponsoring their annual "Homeschool Day." We were all delighted that our newest friends were there! Here are the four older boys on their trek to the big garden.

Here they go, including the youngest as well...

One very interesting thing about this farm is that they work it without any tractors. They use their horses for all the field work instead. Here are the horses harrowing the field.

Later, we all had a chance to go into one of the barns and pet the baby cows. They were so cute! After that, we went into the dairy store and enjoyed an ice cream treat!

Yum!

Blog Intro

I've never blogged before...this is something totally new to me. However, in speaking with my mom on the phone recently (she lives far away), she commented about how she doesn't get photos and updates quickly enough, and that the boys seem to be growing faster than she can believe is possible.

About me: I'm a homeschooling mom of 2 boys, and our home also includes three cats and a dog. Once we had our second baby in two years, my husband laughed about how chaotic life had become and decided he was naming our home "Bedlam."

So, what to expect? Read the name of my blog and take a guess!

Onward!

Today Aidan had his first-ever t-ball practice. It was hard to get good photos because we were looking straight into the sun. This image was one I found to be particularly fun, though. Here is Aidan (standing) at third base with one of his friends (on the ground) looking particularly enthusiastic:

And here is Colin graciously sharing his favorite gal's candy with her:

Won't that be a good one to share at their wedding in 25 years?
