I am going to brag on myself for a minute. I got myself packed and ready, Jaxen packed and ready, many loads of laundry done and half my house cleaned - before we ever left on Saturday...and we were in the car ready to go, 10 minutes early! That was not easy. I made sure Nik knew how good I was!
Jaxen was checking over all the luggage before it got packed
The first 10 minutes that Jaxen was in the van, he was crying. I felt bad for everyone having to listen to it - but the teens didn't mind a bit. In fact, they tried to keep him entertained and happy! They were singing to him, playing games with him, making goofy faces....it was so cute to see our teen boys loving on Jaxen and trying to make him happy! He finally fell asleep and was so good the rest of the trip!
Wesley was Jaxen's riding buddy.
It was a quick trip. But it was relaxing and fun. We all met some new people and Nik and I enjoyed seeing our friends Joe (the pastor) and Ashley (his wife). For those who were at Nik's Ordination last year, Joe and Ashley were the couple right next to us, being ordained as well.
I didn't get to take many pictures of the teens because I was wrangling Jaxen most of the time, but I did get a few pictures of Nik taking Jaxen into the petting zoo!
Looking at the baby goats
Jaxen, sitting on the donkey
Nik was trying to get Jaxen to pet the goat. Not happening!
A baby duck. Again, Jaxen was not having it!
Happy, that he is about to be handed over to momma!
Jaxen was great on his first trip with the teens. Good thing, because we have a few trips lined up for us again this summer!
