So, this past Sunday, we made a trip to visit Greg's Uncle, Aunt and 3 kids up in Mercer, ME. This is always a nice trip to make, even though it is a three hour drive each way! They own Greaney's Turkey Farm, and run a slaughterhouse, but also have some cows and chickens that the kids love to see. My plan was to get some good pictures of the animals, but it was so darn cold, I just didn't do it! I took the kids out to say hi to the animals, then we scrambled back into the warmth of the farmhouse. My kids adore their cousins (I guess they are technically second cousins) Emily (15), Ben (13), and Adam (8). Ana always attaches herself right to Emily; she couldn't remember her name, even though we talk about her all the time! She just called her "my friend" which was really cute anyways. Adam was so cute with Cooper too; he got right down with him on the floor and spilled his buckets of Army men out so Cooper could play with them. Cooper loves little figures, or "guys" as he calls them, and had a ball carrying around one in each hand yelling, "Go, go, go, go, go!" as he banged them together. I think he was making them fight...it was pretty funny, actually; which is pretty ironic for me to say since I have never been one to allow guns, or toys that even relate to guns or fighting at all! Adam was very sweet to bag up a handful of "guys" for Cooper to bring home, and he has already had a lot of fun carrying them around the house. As far as Ian goes, we hardly saw him the entire time we were there, as he went off with Ben to play video games and compare apps on their iPods. Anyways, we had a really nice time, and were treated to a fantastic ham dinner. We can't wait to go back; I just hope it's a little warmer out next time!

The day started with a trip to Dunkin' Donuts.
Yes, that is an entire munchkin in his mouth.... |

What you can't see is Angel, a tiny dog snuggled just behind Ana.
She says she wants a little dog now! |
