Rustic Drive

We took the girls just south of town this weekend, to a beautiful area of the state I used to frequent daily on my way to work in the rural WI school districts. A little nostaligc for me, and very scenic for everyone else.  We met up with the Risler Clan, all 3.5 of them - Randy, Mandi, Blake, and Baby #2 due in May.  We hit an Amish Pancake Feed for breakfast first, where the girls definitely ate their share (and more)! Note Hadley's full mouth in the picture below...  

And from there we took the Rustic Drive (truly the name of the gravel road we took!) on over to Govin's Farm where we were met by some of the cutest baby animals around - ponies, puppies, lambs, chicks, and piglets.  Hadley was surprisingly only apprehensive initially, and then seemed to forget all about her fear of animal noises.  She was enthralled by each and every animal, and talked to them like they were her very own.  Piper also thoroughly enjoyed all of the animals (especially when Kyle put a chick on top of Hadley's hat without her knowing it!), but due to the big crowds of people I held her most of the time so she wouldn't get trampled  (hence the lack of pictures showing Piper holding animals).
