The first half of June....

On June 3rd the kids and I went to the Lazy 5 Ranch.  Emily and Megan were going with her playgroup and invited us along.  What a fun day we had!  The ranch has a drive through park where you can feed the animals.  We took a wagon ride through feeding ostriches, different kinds of deer, yak, giraffes and more.  There is also a petting zoo and fun playground area. 
Check out the cow/yak/bull (not sure which it was)'s tongue!  Crazy...thought he was going to lick us.    You could feed the animals with your hands, except for the bulls - you had to drop the food in their mouths.  They were well trained!  See Bridget and Dillon's version of the tongue.  LOL
The baby giraffe was born 7 inches too tall to nurse.  So, they hand feed her 4x a day and in August they'll put her in with the other giraffes.  She downed that bottle fast!


June 5th was Ashley Belland's 2nd birthday! Everyone is growing up so fast. Here are a few pics from her party. (You really need to flip between the 2 pics of Dillon fast, his face change is hilarious!) Look at the girls and Dillon growing up! Ashley and Dillon up top, then Carly, Taylor, Bridget and Devon.


Bridget, Dillon and I visited Sarah in Harrisonburg and picked up the dresser she borrowed from us.  We had a fun time walking for ice cream, and eating at a rooftop restaurant.  (The picture of Dillon is so serious!  Bridget loves twirling in her twirly whirly skirt!)

Here's a decent picture of me.  You have to find just the right angle for a good one.  :)
