Down on the farm and in the sand

So it is no real secret Brent works like a CRAZY man (in a nice way). I can't complain because I get to have my dream job and stay home with the girls and he DOES really love his job. BUT the down side is when it has been over a week and the girls haven't so much as seen Brent and they miss him.....So since the last few weeks have been worse than usual (Brent being gone/working TONS) it was so much fun to just spend the weekend with him! Friday night we went on an actual date (thanks to mom for watching the kids at the last minute). Saturday morning we took the girls out to Snow Canyon State Park and played in the sand dunes all morning. The sand is so out there and the weather is just perfect right now (the sand doesn't scorch your feet yet but it is warm). The girls had fun making sand angels and burying each other and digging for pirate treasure. It is so fun to watch them pretend together. Later in the afternoon we went to the petting zoo that the girls have been begging for (really Uncle Ron's farm). We got there while Uncle Ron and cousin Garrett were there and they let the girls ride a horse, and pet the new baby lamb, and drive the tractor. They were really great with the girls and we had so much fun. When we got home we got out the hammock and had a picnic and hang time in the back yard. Life is way better when Daddy is around to have fun with!

Digging for pirate treasure-incidentally it is AMAZING the cracks and crannies this sand can adhere to...

Taryn at the farm after mommy telling her to get on the horse..."You want me to do what?"

Cami took amazingly well to the horse and informed me she wants to be a cowgirl sometime...Taryn was less sure about the whole thing-kind of a role reversal to the usual natures....

Cami actually driving the John Deere and she was really really proud of herself thanks to Uncle Ron.
