Que Pasa, Deanna Rose?

We took an after school break to Deanna Rose this afternoon. This was actually Tatum's second time this week. We went with her preschool class on Tuesday. I must say the weather was much nicer today! We generally don't make it a habit to visit the same place twice in one week, but I was really impressed with the changes and additions to the farmstead that I wanted the boys to enjoy it again too. If you have not been recently, you should check it out!

The kids love maps, and the park has several of them. Each map we saw we would stop and they would look at it and determine where we were and what our next destination would be. This is good since their mother is pretty much map challenged. And Brian says,

"Can I get an Amen?"

He has know this for 18 years now, but was just recently reminded on Sunday while we were trying to navigate to my cousin's new house. Guess that is another story for another time. But one of the reasons we would make good T.V. (This is a reference to my dream to be on the Amazing Race.)







One of Tatum's recent obsessions is horses. She talks about them all the time and how she really wants a white horse. Maybe all little girls have a love for horses...




She was happy that she got to go on a pony ride. They did have a white pony that she wanted to ride, but of course that pony was resting. She was still thrilled, so it was all good.



Evan "winning" on the tractors. Mom was winning too since no other little kids got close to him, thus no tractor rage!



The only thing Eli wanted to do was fish. It was late in the day and the fish were not biting, so he was only able to catch one fish. He usually will catch a fish for every worm in his bucket. He could fish all day, he truly loves it. He once wrote a story about how he wants to be a professional fisherman when he grows up. I believe it, he has great patience and can sit and wait and wait and wait.




This is a nice little moment between two brothers. I'm not sure what they were contemplating, but I am sure it was good.
