Spring Break 2012

Spring break this year was a bit different then it's been in the past.  Typically we visit Jeff's parents in Florida, but this year we stayed home.  Our Spring Break trip was to South Dakota to visit my parents.  We had a terrific time, although I don't have many pictures to show for it.  I did get a few pictures with my phone, however. 

On Sunday wewent to a friend's farm to see their baby lambs. Chase and Owen had a blast.  They liked running around the farm and climbing the dirt piles more than anything else.  They had a couple lambs that took to them and followed them around.  It was pretty sweet to watch.  We also saw a baby calf, who was scared to death of us.  Poor guy. 

Sliding down the dirt hill was lots of fun!

Chase caught up with Owen and they had some laughs.

Chase is king of the mountain!

Chase hugs the little lamb.  So sweet.

They both really really wanted to get up on the hay bale.

 Many times when we are on the farm we are doing things that are not conducive to carrying a camera.  For example, we went to the creek to throw rocks, get stuck in mud and see the water.  It was not a good time to be carrying a camera.  Chase and Owen go so stuck-luckily Grandpa brought their froggy boots and they didn't care if they got stuck.  In fact, they wanted to get stuck, over and over. They would get covered in mud and then run to the rocky area, walk in the creek and wash their boots off.  Chase was walking on a very muddy area near the dugout, when suddenly one foot went down to his knee. Mom and I were laughing so hard, but Chase wasn't.  Luckily Grandma was able to get him out without sinking herself.  We went to a huge park, saw ducklings and explored in the barn.  On Monday morning the boys and I went to Mom's school to say hi to her class.  Chase and Owen were so shy and embarrassed they wouldn't even open their eyes and hid behind me.  We had such a fun time playing, making messes and enjoying the outdoors.
