At the Crisps

This past weekend Rocky went off-roading with the Bronco club he's part of (you can snicker and give him a hard time about this later). The only reason he's part of this group is for this one weekend of the year. It's the one time Rocky actually uses his '73 Bronco's off road abilities. It's a fun weekend of camping, off-roading, racing, eating BBQ, and talking to a bunch of rednecks.

While Rocky and Josh went off-roading this past weekend, Colleen, the kiddos and I headed to Colleen's parent's house. We thought since the guys were having a fun weekend, we didn't really want to stay at home missing them. The Crisps were very gracious hosts especially since we didn't finalize our plans until the night before we headed there. It was a great time despite Adelaide having two very hard nights there.

It's cool to see Kate and Adelaide sort of becoming friends. They are starting to do more and more stuff together.
They took a bath together one evening before bed. It's wasn't nearly the fiasco we thought it might be; they had a great time.

Kate is getting very close to walking and actually took her first steps this weekend. Go Kate! Kate really enjoys pushing the walker around, occasionally Adelaide thought she should join in on the fun too.

The Crisps have about 40 acres to explore. The first day we did a little hiking and Saturday we explored on the four wheeler. Adelaide had a fun time on the four wheeler. She's such an adventurous kid.

I brought Adelaide's four wheeler along too. The first time we tried to get a picture of us side by side, she took off down the driveway and we had to go chasing after her. It was hilarious.

After our fun experience at the Austin Zoo, we got excited when we heard that Elkhart has a "safari." You actually drive around in your own car and feed the animals. (I thought this was kind of crazy considering there are alot of crazy people out there). For a small town attraction, they had lots of animals-- zebra, bison, alligators, emu, ostriches, etc. I think Adelaide's favorite was the turkeys.

Adelaide is becoming quite the climber these days. She climbed into rocking chairs all by herself and was even attempting to climb out of the car on the safari. I've definitely got to keep my eye on her these days which isn't always easy (she's so fast now).
