Mutton Bustin'

While we were in ND for Christmas we spent a day visiting Ty & Deb and their kiddos. One of the big adventures at their house involved visiting their sheep. The kids fed the sheep hay and corn. Both Aidyn & Nolan (ACK!!!) used a pitchfork!
Here is Kim, Nolan, McKayla & Aidyn in the nice warm pick-up which incidentally, we got locked out of shortly after this. That was not so nice and warm.
Now this is where it got interesting...The kids went mutton bustin' (for you city folks, that means they rode sheep). Kim did it first which was awesome. Then Aidyn & McKayla took turns sitting on the sheep. It didn't go much further than that, but it was so fun to watch!
After dinner all the kids decorated Christmas ornaments. They made some beautiful creations. Thanks Ty, Deb & family for a very fun day!
