We had foolishly assumed that since we left just after dinner and had everyone in their PJ's that the kids (primarily Lauren) would fall asleep for the ride.
That was NOT the case, as shown by little lady Lauren having a ball at a random stop to feed her yet again....
....at any rate, it was a long evening, but eventually we were all settled snug in our beds at Opa and Grandma Shushi's house.
Saturday we headed to a place called Tanglewood Farms - an odd farm full of all kinds of miniature animals - cows, horses, sheep, goats, llamas, etc.
The big kids had a blast and enjoyed riding a pony, while Lauren hung out with Opa and Grandma Shushi....
As we explored the farm....
....we saw all of the animals, but the best part of all was the miniature goats. They were absolutely adorable!
Once Ella and Aidan got the hang of how to hold them....
.....they were hooked and would not put them down....
Ella made a special request to have one for her birthday. When the request was denied, she got a bit sad....
....even Lauren was fascinated....
....and got to get up close as well....
It was quite the experience and fun was certainly had by all!
After the farm we headed to a local nursery to wander amongst the flowers. This was not just an ordinary nursery, this place was incredible - and it even had a cafe where we enjoyed a nice cold drink!
Opa and Grandma Shushi then had a dinner surprise in store for the kiddos....they know how much Ella and Aidan love the "volcano" restaurant here in town (AKA Kabuto - a Japansese steakhouse where they cook in front of you).
So off to Benihana we went for one fun meal! The kids loved the special hats....
....and Lauren even practically ate her weight in noodles and chicken!
What a fun family meal!
