Absentee farming today.......

We are leaving Mom in charge of the farm. Today is our big field trip to Funtown USA - our big amusement park in Maine and Mom has opted, actually downright refused to go with us. Tom, Ty & Kelsey (our adopted daughter and Ty's best buddy :) and myself will be heading out after chores for a day of fun and excitement! I'm not a huge "ride" fan but the kids assure me if I can survive the rides at Disney World, Fun Town will be a piece of cake. It looks to be a gorgeous day weather wise.

This is our first real field trip this summer. With the rainfall we've had, we haven't had many nice days to do outdoor activities. We have all been looking forward to spending the day together and a little junk food never hurt anyone right? Ooooooooooh, I can smell the fried dough already :)

*** What a great day we had :) This was my first trip to this amusement park and Tyler's as well. Tom and Kelsey gave us the tour and I think the kids went on every ride in the park. We arrived as the gates opened and we didn't wait in long lines which was nice. They convinced me to ride one of the roller coasters and that was enough for me! We splurged on a little junk food. It tasted as good as I knew it would :) ***

It's difficult for me to tear myself away from the farm. I always feel like I'm slacking off; there's always so much work to do and it doesn't get done if we aren't here but............all was well while we were gone. Anything that didn't get done today will be waiting for me tomorrow for sure. I'm glad I spent the day with my kids. I know how precious that time is - they grow up too fast.
