A couple of weeks ago we met with a group of adoptive families for a picnic lunch and a steam engine ride! I think all of the kids loved riding on the train. We love getting together with friends that have also adopted from Vietnam, it is great to see our kids playing together.
We arrived at the steam engine just in time! seriously i was afraid we were going to miss the train ride.

It's never easy to get a group picture :)
The picnic area was fantastic and there was a little beach there as well. We didn't come prepared for the beach but we made due. Owen borrowed Ben's bathing suit, and Noah just wore his diaper. Noah was covered in mud because he and Molly found the puddle in the sand more fun than the lake. We had a great time! and plan to be more prepared for the event next year :)
Last weekend my sister Maegan and her boyfriend Bill got engaged! we are all really excited for them. We were invited to come visit them for the night and go to Bill's family farm for dinner. Bill had been promising the kids a ride on the tractor since we met him and finally the boys got their ride! The tractor is kept in the barn and as soon as Bill opened the barn door Owen was saying "Oh wow! look at that BIG tractor!" We got a ride around the farm in the tractor and Owen even helped drive the tractor by steering it! he was thrilled and probably could have stayed in the tractor all night. He keeps talking about when he goes back to the farm he can ride the tractor again. I don't think their love of tractors is going to fade any time soon. Congratulations again Maegan and Bill!
We visited the Orono fair the other day and the main reason for going was to watch the tractor pull. How long can two kids watch a tractor pull you might be wondering.....2 hours.... straight. Seriously.
The highlight of the fair was trying out the equipment displayed for sale. Papa joked that we need this "toy" for our back yard. Owen would love it, but it's not going to happen. Ever.
Visiting Sparky the dog. Noah would get close enough to give him a high five but wasn't interested in giving him a hug. Owen was fine with posing for a picture with Sparky.
We had never been to a petting zoo where you were in the pen with the animals. Noah was a little scared and would scream when the animals came up close to him Papa tried to show him how to push the animals out of the way, but Noah found screaching more effective :) he liked to pet the animals but didn't like them in his face.
