Friends, Foals, and Tractors

This weekend we had a good time visiting with friends. Nathan had his second to last day of school this Saturday...whoo hoo, and that afternoon we visited our good friends Jason, Megan, and their son Ben who is almost 3. Ben has gotten so big since we last saw him and he has turned into such a sweet and well-mannered little boy. He shared his toys so nicely with Caleb, and they had fun playing together. We had dinner at their house, took a trip to the playground, and enjoyed some ice cream. Caleb was pooped by the time we left! Jason and Megan were so kind to give us lots of clothes, toys, and a carseat  that Ben outgrew. We are so appreciative for the baby stuff. We had such a good time catching up during the evening that I forgot all about my camera in the diaper bag and did not get a single picture!

On Sunday, our neighbors Matt and Michelle took us to Michelle's dad's farm. Michelle has been wanting to take us for a while, and recently one of the horses had a foal, so it was an extra bonus. It's a beautiful farm about 20 minutes from our house and the barn was full of horses.

Caleb liked the horses and dogs running around, but when we got inside the stable to see the foal he was a little unsure of them. Ironman is 3 months old, and he was so adorable. He and his mom are still stabled together, and they are supposed to separate soon. It was so sweet to see the mom with her baby horse, I imagine it is an adjustment for both mom and baby to make the separation.

After visiting the stable, we headed out to the tractors. I think little boys are genetically wired to like tractors and trucks. This little boy sure did!

And of course his favorite part of most activities is playing in the dirt...

Let's just say it was not wise for mom to wear a white shirt to the farm...

Caleb made a couple of new friends

After a fun afternoon at the farm, we ate delicious Mexican food on the way home. Thanks Matt and Michelle for the fun Sunday!
