TTW - Dollar Store

One day while we were home Rachel and I decided to entertain ourselves while Cade was at preschool by taking the other 3 to the dollar store in search of wrapping paper for Robin's baby shower and party supplies for Kent's early birthday party.  Right on cue, Kent decided he needed to poop while we were there.  Rachel was so kind to take him next door to Ace while I attempted to entertain the two little girls.  I spent a majority of my time putting things back in their placed after they took them off the shelf, but what do you know we survived and these two cute things got to dress up.

TTW - Olson Ranch

One day while we were home we were treated to an afternoon at the "Olson Ranch".  Maja, Lori, and Robin met us out in Viola to let the kids ride the horses.  Little did they know they were going to exercise Juno (the dog) and dig holes for them.  We had a great time and hope to be able to do it again next time we visit.  I even showed up in a few pictures, thats what happens when Rachel takes a turn with the camera.

Addy loved the horses.

First meeting.

Kent would have taken Juno home if we would have let him.  Isn't the Palouse gorgeous!

Feeding the horses peppermints.

Kent's turn.

Fetch, Juno.

A photo opportunity.

Cheese.

Such a big girl.

These two crack me up.  We forced Kent to ride the horse, not that he was scared but simply he was content with Juno as his entertainment.  

Riding away into the sunset.

The boys found a shovel and Kent said he was digging holes so he could come back the next day and plant corn.  The kid loves him some corn on the cob.

The boys also got a kick out of throwing Juno's ball into the water and making him jump in and get it.  I think Juno thought it was fun the first few times, but the 5th time may have been too much.

TTW - Park Day

While in Washington we took the kids to the park one day after breakfast.  We had a good time, but were a little disappointed with how run down Krugel Park in Pullman is, it makes me want to buy my own can of paint and paint the merry-go-round, slide, and train myself.    

They did however have a new climbing structure that Kent dominated.  This kid loves to climb. 

Everyone needs a trip down the elephants trunk.

Addy loved the merry-go-round, too bad it made me sick watching her.

We made everyone hold onto a bar.

No words needed.

On top of the other climbing structure.  

Becoming fast friends.

"Wow, I have one of those too!"

Kent loves, loves, loves his aunt Rachel.

Best Buds!
