Trip to Gaylord for Mother's Day - May 9-11

Sienna and I drove up to Gaylord to visit for Mother's Day. Cheryl, Sammy, Grandma Seiler, Lisa, Patrick, Madison and Cooper were all up there too. We had a good time and did some interesting things.

Saturday morning, most people went "shroomin'". Sienna, Grandma and I stayed home because of nap time (for all of us).

The biggest mushroom of the hunt!

Saturday afternoon, we went to the "farm" of this lady who teaches at the University Center. My Mom buys fresh eggs from her. This place was INTERESTING to say the least. We got to see goats and tons of chickens. Sienna got to pet a baby chick(actually she tried to squeeze it's head off). We even got to collect eggs from the chicken coop. We tried raw goat milk (better when chocolate syrup is added). This lady and her husband are very "creative" types and have nearly a self-sustaining farm. The husband even builds unusual musical instruments. They seem very happy.





This is right before she tried to pluck it's head off!

This is the house!








On Sunday, we went to another farm. These are also people my Mom knows from work/gardening. We had a blast on their HUGE rope swing (even grandma got up there!) - and got to pet chickens, baby sheep and a pregnant donkey.









The rest of the visit was spent eating and relaxing. Sienna and I headed home Sunday night. The drive went well. Sienna slept almost the whole time.
