Weekend Fun

 Grant at Panera, where we went out for breakfast Friday morning

We missed John last week while he spent a few days with friends in Costa Rica, but the boys & I had a really fun weekend & found plenty to keep us entertained! 

 Leave it to Uncle Pups to send us a package with 2 pairs of boxing gloves & a punching bag. 

The boys were thrilled, but I let him know I'd be sending him the Doctor bills for the first broken nose ; )

 Surely these sweet faces wouldn't want to use boxing gloves on each other.....yeah, right!

 Saturday morning our friend had his birthday party at the farm.  It took Grant a minute to warm up to all the animals cruising around him, he's taking off in the other direction as this goat comes near him!  By the end of the party, he was loving it.

 Ian missed out on the pony ride the last time we were at this farm for a party, so he talked about it all morning & was first in line this time.

 They wouldn't get any closer for this picture, as they were afraid the goat was going to snatch their popsicles.

 Off on a hayride

 These 3 growing boys downed some fresh peaches & watermelon.  And cookies, ice cream, popsicles, juice boxes....talk about a sugar overload!  They are going to eat us out of this house when they are older!

The boys love this farm & saw guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, goats, ducks, lots of chickens, a pig & a peacock.  They had a great time!

 

Sunday morning we went to the church at Wrightsville Beach where they had bible school last week.  The entire service was put on by the kids & it was fun to watch them perform their songs & to see the slideshow of pictures from their week.  This church is where the boys attend a Moms Morning Out program during the school year & they invited all of those children to take part in bible school.  Each evening they took the kids to the beach to have their lesson, and I explained to the boys how fortunate they are to have that experience!  It was extremely generous of their church to let us be a part of such a fun week.

We then headed to another birthday party, this one with a huge water slide, bouncy house & a pinata.  You can imagine how hard it was to pull them away from here when the party was over!

 

Ian is determined to get to that candy!
