We had a guest in our house for a weekend. The preschool sends home Krissy the Kangaroo to enjoy each family. Krissy visited us two years ago when Trenton was little, and now it was Simon's turn to show Krissy a good time.
We started our day by taking her to the Oregon State Fairgrounds in Salem for the Ag Fest.
The Ag Fest is where the kids get to learn about everything on a farm.
Here they are having a tractor race.
Learning about how to harvest rain water...
Playing at the Dairy center...
learning how to milk a cow...
The Ag Fest is a must visit annual event! It is always the last weekend in April. They watched sheep get sheered, horses getting trained, sheep herding dogs chase around goats, pet rabbits, plant radishes and tomatoes, and they had all sorts of crafts to do!
To relax after all the hype, we drove out to the coast! My parents were there so we had a place to land and for them to meet our new friend.
The boys build a dam, a bridge..
castles, lighthouses, and got slightly wet playing in the stream doing all this.
we warmed up around a campfire, and roasted smores.
The part that was extra special was spending a few minutes with my parents as they showed off their favorite place to camp. This was their 36th wedding anniversary and they wanted to spend it watching the waves and whales together. They are strong, resilient, and still in love! They find peace in one another, and continue to support each other through each of their own unique challenges!
I love them and I love their example to me and my children!
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!
