Labor Day Weekend at Wheeler Farm

We spend a fun Saturday with cousins at Wheeler Farm in Murray!

We just did the free stuff, but while we were here I kept thinking of my cousin Marks wife, Mandy, who came here once and remarked that she thought our ancestors must be turning in their graves to see us paying MONEY so that our kids could have the experience of milking a cow hahaha! #timessurehavechanged

Farmer Nolan driving the tractor!

Rhett was a little scared to sit up on the tire, but managed to smile a few times for the camera ☺

Nolan's favorite part was going exploring off the beaten path.





Looking at the cute bunnies 




They have a fun playground at the farm so the boys had fun playing and we ordered a pizza for lunch. We just love having family so close!

I was proud of Nolan because he was initially pretty scared to do the ladder up to the big slide by himself and wanted me to help him. I struggle so much with things like that because I want him to know that he can always count on me to be there when he needs help or is afraid, but I also want him to know that he can do hard things and that it's important to try (plus let's be honest, I'm lazy and didn't want to climb up into the play place every time he wanted to go down the slide haha). So I encouraged him and stood right there in case he fell, but let him do it all by himself - and he did! After that he didn't ask me for help anymore!

Later he went on an adventure with daddy and climbed his first tree ♥

Overall it was a super fun way to spend a Saturday!
