This past weekend we hit the road and went to Maine to visit
Grampy Waterhouse.
Caden had a soccer game late in the afternoon so it ended up being a less than 24
hour overnight which is much too short to do all the important things.. like ride tractors, feed the animals, etc... so we'll have to make a trip back soon! Although we got a taste of what it will be like in the future travelling with three children in such close quarters.. amusingly it was Cora who was causing trouble! Cole fell asleep almost instantly, and anytime his head would loll off to Cora's side of the a giggling would erupt from her seat and you could see her pudgy little hand moving slowly towards his head... Cole woke up more than once crying after Cora grabbed a big handful of his hair and pulled... and with the sunlight shining into the car you could see all of the blond Cole hairs stuck to her hand that she had removed from his head!
Ahhhh.. and so the fun begins!
I tried to get a Christmas card photo of the kids on a horse.. but in order to get the horse's head in the picture too the kids were like little ants in the photo! And they weren't cooperating
anyway at looking and smiling on cue.. so I guess we'll try for a Christmas photo-op another time!
Grampy has lots of fun animals.. horses, chickens, sheep, turkeys.. and bees!! The bees we had to walk to.. below is
Grampy with the boys on the way to the hive.
Cole and I watch an airplane make tracks in the beautiful blue sky! Although it was rather windy that day. Cole looks so little to me in this picture!
Caden and Wyatt helped
Grampy save the hay field by cutting all the milk weed pods off so they couldn't open and spread more seeds.
Cole just stands around and watches as work is done, he would much rather be pulling out the fun silky seeds! So we kept him at a distance!
Before we left we stopped at
Flaherty's Farm for the Straw Maze.. pretty challenging as far as tight squeezes between the bales, but we got out pretty quickly. It was Free! what more could we expect?!

The Cora story is so funny! I can just picture her giggling like she does with Caden. I always said Cole was going to get his due when she got a little older for the abuse she took from him. Just didn't expect it to be this soon. Put that one in her baby book!
