Hit the Road, Jack

This is what four boys look like about to hit the road for a six+ hour trip:

Pretty enthusiastic, right?

Should I mention that there were two additional children in-utero as well?

Quite relaxing, those seven hours, believe it or not... just about until LA traffic... and who can blame them, really? It's nothing to be excited about and/ or enthusiastic about.

But, they hung in there, and within minutes at arriving at my mom's, these hooligans were swimming like fish in the pool.

Oh, and there's cable television here. And ice cream.

Have I mentioned that one of my best friends and I are on vacation?

Country Living

Thank you Knapp families for letting the boys and I come visit your homestead!

Kid had a blast and was really into the chickens and ducks. He surprised me by wanting to hold a chicken! Nice work, Kid! Looks like you still have a little country in you!

Benji was more interested in eating the duck's food. They seem to have formed their own opinion on that.

Even Bee was into feeding them... so cute to watch!

I loved all the dirty faces the kids sported... little Kirsten handled the chickens like a pro... you should have seen her catch them (while I'm running around like a complete moron trying the same!).

We even had raw honey on our sandwiches from their very own bees! Thanks again, Knapps!
