Spring Weekend in Northeastern Pennsylvania

Friday morning we headed north to visit family. We started out Friday night with miniature golf followed by ice cream. Derek's mom joined us. It rained on us, but we knew it might and were happy to take that risk.

Evidence

We've been told all along that Esther looks like me. This morning I found photographic evidence. I don't think we photograph the same, but in these two photos of me, I can see Esther.

(This photo also confirms that I look just like Dad and not like Mom.)

Mother's Tea

Today was the Mother's Tea at Esther's preschool. It was a nice event to celebrate the moms. We drank tea, ate cookies, and watched the children sing.

Excited for the Tea.

 Yes, that is a skirt.

 Closer...

 Esther said this about me.

 She drew this picture of me.

 Yummy!

 Esther asked to take a picture of me.

P.S. I also shared another post earlier today. Shocking I know. :)

Farm Day

The kids' school has a microfarm. This past weekend they put on a nice event for families.

We walked through the greenhouse and then pet the duck.

 Can you tell we had just come from Evan's baseball game? Esther opted not to pet it.

 All three made a sheep craft.

Meghan tried her hand at the mechanical bull. Meghan worked hard at staying on the bull.

 So did Esther. It was really cute how the man moved it around enough for her to have fun without being scared.

 Evan loved the sling shot. They aimed at a pig's nose...just like in the game Angry Birds.

 Meghan hit the target, too.

 Climbing...

 We also took a look at the bees. We were able to find the queen bee (inside). The bees on the top that are visible were just foraging/visiting bees. The ones in the container stayed in the container.
