A trip to Baa Moo Farm

Last week, we made a trip to Baa Moo Farm with our summer playgroup. It was a great day! We got to see a variety of farm animals, collect chicken eggs, milk a cow, feed a baby cow from a bottle, take a tractor-pulled wagon ride around the farm, run through a maze, and eat a picnic lunch. JD was cracking me up with his reaction to the farm odors! As we were approaching the area that housed the cows and pigs, it was as if there was a physical wall of foul smells, and when JD noticed it, he said very emphatically, "ShoooooooWeeeee!" while covering his nose and mouth. He walked around for the rest of the day with his top lip in a snarled position as if he thought this whole farm scene was just disgusting...especially when he noticed that there was poop on the ground. However, he did seem to enjoy running around in the open with his friends.

Davis rode around in the stroller enjoying the fresh (well, somewhat fresh) air. Ha ha. I played a game with him where I tossed a lightweight blanket against his face, and just when he reached up to grab it, I would quickly pull it back off again. He thought this was quite humorous and laughed every single time I did it. His laugh is contagious...you can almost hear him laughing in the photo below.

A sweet moment from our trip -- we were getting ready to walk to the next area of the farm as a group, and we were passing by a patch of clover when someone said, "Come on, JD, let's keep going." He had stooped down in front of the clover, and he said, "Hang on just a second, I need to pick a flower for my mom." He then brought it to me and said, "Here you go, mama, this is for you." What a sweetheart!
