The kids love the Moses Lake Aquatic Park so we had to come here. Sara met us there so it was fun to see her. We ended up bringing Carter and Paige with us too. They stayed at my Mom's house for a couple days so Kate could have some playmates. My friend gave me the adorable swimsuit for Chelsea and I was excited to see her in it.
The kids did really well. Lindsey surprised me the most because she didn't want to go down any of the slides. She just walked around in the water. She loved the lazy river, but last year she totally did the slides. Funny girl.
My Mom stayed at 'camp' and took care of Chelsea. It's nice having a nanny!
After the water park we went to Derek and Sara's. We chilled for a bit then met Derek at his family's dairy to get a tour. The kids were fascinated by it all. It was cool to see the cows come in and line up all orderly ready to get milked. They produce SO much milk, like several gallons worth. I went down to look at the measuring thing to see how much they produce and got sprayed with pee. Lovely.
Preston was too close when a cow poop splattered on him. haha! I don't think he knew what happened or else he probably would have been crying. Gross!
Lindsey playing peek-a-boo with the calves.
We also got to see this little calf born!!! Amazing that we happened to be there at that time. I guess people come to take tours of the dairy and hope to see a calf born, but don't. It was interesting.
We were getting ready to leave when Derek's uncle noticed the key to one of the work four-wheelers was missing. Preston was sitting on top of it and I had already told him once to not touch the key b/c he had taken it out. Well, we could NOT find that key! I was so annoyed with Preston because he wouldn't tell us what he did with it and we spent a long time looking for it. At one point he told me he wanted to tell Grandma where it was and not me (probably because I was getting so mad at him and my Mom wasn't). He said he dropped it on the four wheeler (before he said it was in the toilet and in the hay). It was even the spare key! I felt awful, but we ended up leaving because it was getting late and the kids needed dinner. Well, not too long after we left I got a text from Derek saying they found the key!!! Phew! He had to remove some plastic part around the gas tank and found the key sitting there. I think Preston either stuck it down there or it slipped and fell. Stressful!

Heidi your life is so full of fun! I love it. hahah about the poop on Preston. So funny! Poor boy:(. And WOW, a calf being born? Pretty cool! I don't know if I'd love it, or be grossed out by it, but I think it would be kinda cool.
Ugh. The key scenario sounds stressful! Glad they ended up finding it:)
We've missed the kids in Primary! I'm glad you're back!
How fun to get a tour of the Dairy. I'm glad that Preston didn't know about the poop because that was a big episode avoided and I am sorry to hear about the lost key scenario. I felt the mounting stress, as if I were really in the situation, as I read. I have been in those situations. You need to leave, but you need to find the key. At least they were "family" and more understanding. I am glad that they found the key. Sneaky Preston!
The picture of the poop cracks me up! The key story is a good one too. Frustrating but good. I also love Lindsey peeking in on the calf. Adorable.
