This weekend we cleaned out the backyard, moved the trampoline and put out the fire pit Sarah gave me for Christmas. The yard looks awesome; don't look too closely at the grass we need to replace it! We have some plans but to add to the patio this summer. Should be exciting! We finished off the evening with smores. After the kids went to bed hubby and I sat by the fired and talked for two hours. Good times!

We started off Monday with E's last day of preschool. This was a fun day! Siblings were invited and the day is designed as a play day. We spent the day going from one station to another. I watched our little buddy, Camp, and he spent the day with us, too. All the children had a blast. S will be attending the preschool next year and is so ready! I am so excited for her new adventure with preschool and E's adventure going to Kindergarten. Big changes for us!

Tuesday we headed to the dentist! It was S's first time and E's third. Emmie was an angel like always. She is amazing and cooperative. S was incredible, too. Especially for her first time. She did a really great job and I was proud of them both!

Wednesday we had plans to go to a horse ranch! The girls have been so excited about this. We did a community service project in the fall at this ranch and it has been on mind since then. We put on our jeans and cowboy boots and headed out there with apples and carrots. First thing was first the girls learned all about horse safety. They had to memorize rules and repeat them. It was cute! The girls learned that you don't just get to play when you come to the ranch, there is actually quite a bit of work that needs to be done. Wish there was a better term for this but there isn't...our first job... scoop up the horse poop. So we did, with smiles! We all had a shovel and got to work, cleaned out an entire pen. Then the girls got to brush the horse, learn to saddle the horse and then each one of them got to ride the horse. It was so special and such a fun day! After they rode the horse we fed them apples and carrots we had brought from home. They had such a wonderful day and we will be going back!

What a week to kick off our summer!
