The Hunts Came to Town

The Hunt's arrived on Friday night. We had a BBQ and played JD's new Wii for quite awhile. It's funny, Heather and I cannot bowl in reality and we can't bowl in Wii land either!
On Saturday morning we took the kids to Grant's Farm. Layton had never been to a zoo of any kind before and he was so busy taking it all in. First stop was the Clydesdale stables. Those things are HUGE!!

(M. and Layton "racing" around the farm.)







K. had a great time in the goat pen, despite the fact that several of the goats bit her shirt and shorts. The horse on the right happens to be the one that kicked the football on the Superbowl commercial a few years ago- we thought it was cool to see him in person! Other than commercial work, he and the others at the farm are retired.















P. and Kevin had fun feeding the camels. K. wanted no part of such a large animal licking her hands. She dropped the food onto the ground. P.. loved it and said the camel's tongue felt kind of like his own tongue. Go figure! After a quick lunch, we came home to rest a bit (it was in the high 90's with 100% humidity).
We then had a fabulous Italian feast (thank you John for your recipes). A quick trip to the pool to cool off rounded out the evening.

Sunday we spent the day playing the Wii, as it was about to leave with JD and Heather. Heather and I took off for a "quick" trip to Target. We found a baseball bat for Layton that we thought he might like to have. Turns out we were right! He spent the next hour banging it on the ground and swinging it. When we put it up, he would cry. I'd say there is baseball in his future, just like his daddy! We had such a good time with everyone and we are looking forward to doing it again soon!
