Visiting Uncle Scott and Jamie

(I still have a couple posts from our trip to do but I'm falling behind on other stuff too, so I'm jumping ahead for now!)

My brother Scott and his girlfriend Jamie are working at Circle R Ranch this summer. This is Jamie's third summer there and Scott's first. In June, they've been working daily with school groups that come to visit and beginning in July they'll be working regular, overnight summer camps.

We thought it would be fun to take a trip to visit them so we headed out on Father's Day. It had been a while since we'd seen them last but Logan was excited as soon as we got there to see them (especially Jamie...sorry Scott!)

As soon as we got there Logan was happy to take Jamie's hand and follow her around. Hmm, maybe next time we'll just drop him off!

We weren't really sure what to expect. I had packed a picnic lunch for us to have but we were able to quickly fill the morning with fun activities on the ranch.

First stop would be a pony ride for Logan!

Meeting Skittles.

Getting some kisses from Skittles.

Jacob and I watching.

Jacob meeting the pony too.

Adjusting the stirrups to the right length.

Having a great ride!

After Logan's ride on Skittles, we checked out some of the other horses and animals at the ranch.

Meeting a bigger horse.

Jacob too!

He also got to meet a sheep...

a pig...(I think the pig was his favourite)

A chicken...

Another chicken.

Helping Jamie feed the goat.

And feeding the sheep. The sheep were really excited to eat and kept bumping into Logan he loved it!

Jacob and Scott watching the activity.

Aww...It was moments like this that made Scott and I look at each other and wonder why we didn't just drop Logan off!

Next we went on a wagon ride. Jamie drove us around some of the ranch and Scott pointed out what some of the different stuff was.

Logan and Scott sitting together.

Jacob wasn't too sure what was going on!

A cute picture of Logan holding hands with his Uncle Scott.

Maybe a future farmer?

I packed a lunch for us to have with Jamie and Scott before we left.

Logan eating his sandwich...with a fork. :)

Jacob having some cucumber.

Checking out a butterfly.

Hey guys! I'm over here! (If only we had this much stuff for him to explore at home.)

Jacob practicing standing.

We left Scott and Jamie and headed to Norwich for the rest of the day. Jacob fell asleep in the car but Logan did not. We tried to put him down for a nap when we got there, he didn't sleep.

Scott and Logan in the pool.

Swimming on his own!

That ranch looks awesome, Logan must have been in heaven. Skittles is so little! So funny to see Jacob reaching out and petting too.
