Come one..come all... to Schaben's Fun Farm....free admission

Saturday we headed down to Meta to have a fun filled day and night with my friend Sarah and her family. I had only been there one time before, but knew my kids would love it. It is like being in a totally different world out there, a world that I think I like much better. Everything is slower, funnier, fresher and realer. They have so many toys (dirt bikes, four wheelers ect) that the word bored might as well be thrown out of the dictionary. After fun in the yard, they hitched a trailer to the back of the four wheeler and we all headed down to the creek. There the kids bopped between fishing, catching crawdad's and minnos or jumping off the little bridge. There are also lots of cool rocks to be collected. After about two hours at the creek we headed back to the house where we prepared for our weenie roast. While in preparation Braden had a little accident on his dirt bike. The way the Schaben's handle accidents is truly envious, and it's no wonder their boys are as courageous and well behaved as they are. Jake ended up taking Braden in to town to the ER, and Sarah stayed behidn to carry on the festivites. There were 6 kids now to prepare the hot dogs and smores for. Sarah and I passed off the duty and the kids watched as they lay back under the stars on nicely spread out sheets. It was so wonderful. Once we were finished everyone headed inside to start winding down. Although all the kids were tuckered, they all stayed up to wait for Braden. On his way home he called and Sydney wanted to talk to him, she told him he was brave...which he is. He ended up getting 7 stiches and 7 staples on his arm, yet he said he didn't feel a thing. Dr. told him to stay off the dirt bike for 10 days, but as racing dirt bikes runs through the Schaben blood, that very well may not come through. Finally the day was done and all feel asleep hudled as young adventureours in the living room. On Sunday morning Jake made everyone biscuits and gravy and I served all the kids. I can honestly say I had a completley fulfilling weekend, and am looking forward to more trips to the Schaben Fun Farm!!
