Call us crazy...

Amy, Rachel, and I took our SEVEN children (ages 5 and under!) to Amy's ranch!!!! And before I begin, I need to give ALL the credit for all the activities below to Amy! Rachel and I were quite worthless while Amy put her "man skills" to work :) Thanks Amy!! 

Before we left, Madelyn made an "I spy" game for the girls to play! She made a great long list of things for them to search for. I think they found all of them except for the crab ;)

 Charlie and Rosalie...the exact same age!

 the girls were trying to trap the ants and make them do a routine?!

 Gwyn's belated bday present

Madelyn made bracelets for all the big girls and decorated the envelopes for them. She made one for herself too :)

 bracelets!

 bedtime storytime!

 the crew having breakfast!

 fun times! searching for wildlife...

 Boots!!

 catching frogs...with babies on hips!

 got one!!

 Madelyn and Ellie loved this scavenger hunt!

 fishing! though I have to admit, the fish weren't biting! or maybe we just didn't know what we were doing :)

 time for s'mores! here are the spectators!

 baby playtime! what's better than a water bottle?

 Bowen was too cute in this sink to not take a picture!

 bathtime! everyone was filthy by the end of our trip!

 all 7 in their pjs and ready for bed! the picture started out ok...

 but ended like this! poor Bowen!

putting on a show!

 Then we all went to Sea World! well, minus Charlie, he stayed home with Clint

wish Charlie could have been in the only entire group shot...

What a blast!! and people told us we were crazy?! what's our next trip, ladies?! maybe the hubbies will keep the kids this time? :)
