Summer Fun

It's hard to believe summer is in full swing. Jackson's been saving his money that Grammy Linda gives him each week and he decided to spend it on a slip & slide that everyone can use. Although they made quite the mud slide in Grammy's yard, they had a blast.

Field Trip

Yesterday we traveled to Leechburg, PA (kinda between Indiana and Pittsbugh) to visit our friend, Bethany, and her family's turkey farm. I met Bethany @ SFU through our OT program - she just graduated from our program in May and is moving towards Philly in a few weeks to work as a pediatric OT!
It was an amazing day filled with all kinds of adventures, fun and learning. When we arrived, we played in the field and then hiked up the hill to the turkey coops. Along the walk, Jude managed to find several barns with some pretty awesome tractors hiding inside. We made it to the turkey barn and saw hundreds of poults (baby turkeys) - they just hatched on Tuesday, so they were less than a week old. They boys loved chasing them and picking them up. We also visited the older turkeys - they were so cute - the boys would shout, "Gobble, gobble, gobble!" and while they were shouting, the turkeys were silent but would then respond to the boys with their gobbles.
We got to visit the farm store and see how the turkeys are processed (none were being processed, but we got to see the equipment). We also got to take a dip in the pool before we headed home. It was a really fun trip and one that we'll never forget.
