the seymours

We were looking forward to visiting The Seymours.  We always have a great time.  Friday morning we woke up and introduced Bennett to Chris, James, Ryan and Alice.  Bennett looked confused as to where he was but he didn't seem to mind.  He is usually fussy when we travel but he must have felt right at home.  Alice has changed the most.  She is crawling now and has two bottom front teeth in.  She has the darkest brown hair that stands straight up.  She is too cute!

This morning we made a trip to see The Seymours new house.  They had just bought it about a week ago and we were very excited to see their new place.  The realtor was nice enough to come by and let us in.  It's a great house.  The yard is plentiful and the place is huge.  It has five bedrooms, two bath and a finished basement.  There is a nice porch right off the sit-in kitchen.  A two car garage attached to the house that will be amazing when its raining.  One of the living rooms has a fireplace as well.  The boys made themselves right at home and were busy running around and getting into trouble.  This is a great home and we are happy for them.  We cannot wait to come and visit many times over once they are settled in.  

In the afternoon we headed to feed the cows at a farm nearby.  At four o'clock the farmer gives all the kids and adults a bottle filled with milk.  Everyone then picks a calf to feed and holds the bottle while they chug away the milk.  I got in on the action with James and Ryan.  The calves were drinking the bottles very fast! And, they were pulling on them very hard.  I was surprised and impressed James did very well on his own feeding the calf.   

That was a very fun experience.  We walked around the farm for a bit and petted the animals after feeding time was over.  Played with the trucks outside around the grounds and stopped to get some ice cream at the farm store.  What a great way to spend an afternoon.
