Down on the Farm

Cassie and I took our boys to Wheeler farm to let them see all the animals (and also to take some pictures....my hidden agenda).
Here are the photo victims. Baden got off easy. He slept in his stroller the whole time.
Rex LOVES all the animals. He likes to get in close.
Little Coop isn't as little anymore. This big boy knows how to work it. His blonde curls and big smile win all of us over pretty easily.
His thumb-sucking makes him look innocent, but don't be fooled :)
Here's the leader of the pack.
This kid can't be found without a car in his hand.
He and Rex get along really well most of the time. Cam took him around, telling him about each animal. It was sweet.
These two boys could spend a entire day throwing rocks into the water. I guess boys will take any excuse they can to throw things.
Then, it was on to the tractors. The boys thought they were pretty cool.
Cam was pretty proud to be driving it.
Here are three of them looking extra tough (or maybe that's just a bit cranky).
It's so nice to have a place to take the boys that's free and fun. Where do you take your kids for fun? Any ideas? Feel free to share.

What a fun time together! I love all the pictures but you even got both boys with feet in the air walking in step like they are leaving and the day is done. What great memories they will have of growing up together! Why isn't Baden on the tractor? Ha ha ha. I love all of the pics and the kids!

Love,
Mom

Adorable... as usual! Love all those little boys!
If you are looking for fun, Aunt Malindas has to be the funnest place. We have a ton to do.
It looks like you have all of your bases covered around SL. My kids always loved the zoo at that age, but you have been there.

What type of camera do you have? The boys are handsome little men and so full of fun all the time it seems. :)

I still can't believe how close Rex is willing to get to the animals. He is one gutsy kid! I do love this batch of pictures!

Love,
Mom

You take the BEST pictures. I love ALL of these. They are SO cute! And, when did Coop get SO BIG??? Make them stop! Thanks for sharing - one auntie to another :)

The Coop pictures are the best. The one of Cam without color is amazing. You guys think of the best ideas to do with the boys. The best free things I do with the kids are bike rides or trips to the park with a packed lunch. There is something magical about eating a sandwich at the top of a slide that makes them beg for more. As always-- sweet work with your camera!

Hey Cheri, I love your pictures. Those boys are so cute. I love to check your blog to see all these adorable pics. I think I have left a comment before but not too often. If you ever feel a need to take some pictures of a girl I have one that needs some taken. (hint hint) I am one of Jeff's cousins, so we are related.

I have to tell you a secret....
I get on your blog almost everyday, even when I know you haven't updated. Just to see these adorable little boys. Cam & coop too!
Whew, I feel better now! =)

I would like to leave a comment so you know I have seen these beautiful children. The picture of the three boys on the tractor made me laugh when I included a speech bubble for Rex. It went something like this, "Hey, if these two are driving I am out of here".

Love ya,
Dad

I must admit I peek without posting a comment quite often. Now that I know it really gets on your nerves - I will make sure to comment. Cute boys! We always loved the park and here in AZ they have cool water spray stuff at the park for free - maybe becuase it is 110 degrees, but they would love it here.
