Which is like an older kid version of Chuck E Cheese. He got a bunch of Ninja stuff with all of his tickets. No words&#8230; As you might guess, we had to take away his Ninja weapons more than once And I am pretty sure we conveniently left them there at the farm. Just wait it gets worse&#8230;. he says this is a pirate move but I told him it was ok, I wouldn&#8217;t tell that he was a Ninja doing a pirate move (even though it was gross, and even though I promised not to put it on the blog&#8230;) I had pictures of Austin learning how to use the big mowers, but they got deleted. Boo. He&#8217;s my only freckled face blue eyed kid. At least one looks like me! It started to rain so we watched it from the porch. Some (or one) of us decided to play in it My cute little Ninja He is still her fave She did some farming&#8230;. Her brother used some of his tickets to get her a dora ball at Gattitown. She played catch with him&#8230;. And she gets so excited when he throws it back She let him ride her tractor- which has now belonged to 5 or 6 grandkids. And finally dad arrives and the welcome committee heads to greet him! More farm pics soon! Off to prepare for my Barley girl, she comes home today!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6092,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,9,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-family","category-farm","category-life"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.elisalou.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_5175copy.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elisalou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elisalou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elisalou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elisalou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elisalou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6094"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.elisalou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6094\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18972,"href":"https:\/\/www.elisalou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6094\/revisions\/18972"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elisalou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6092"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elisalou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elisalou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elisalou.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
