The Art Barn

My neighbor invited us to join her, her sons and her MIL (Mother-in-law) at The Art Barn. I'd never heard of it but it was so much fun. We started the morning out by meeting Farmer Sue & Vera Bradley (the chicken). Mrs. Debbie read stories to the children and then we headed out to learn about the animals and pet them. Thompson was very nervous at the beginning but he finally warmed up to them and came out of his shell. Mrs. Debbie took us on a hay ride and Thompson got to drive the tractor since he had the most recent birthday. We used some of his birthday money from family to go (Thank You). After, the tractor ride we did an art project and then had a picnic lunch. The Art Farm did a great job engaging the children and we hope to come back soon. Presently, my boys are wiped and are napping! Daddy just got home and headed out on an 18mile run. He is training for the Marine Corps Marathon.

 

 Wednesday, Firemen were doing a drill in our neighborhood and Thompson was thrilled. The firemen were very kind and let him get into the truck.
