A Visit to the Farm

On Friday we were able to have a fun filled day with both of our kids. First, we took Ethan to see Pixar Cars 2 (that's the way we have to say it or Ethan corrects us). He has been wanting to see this movie for a long time. He got all decked out with his Lighting McQueen clothes and shoes, he was ready! Daisy stayed with the grandparents cause we thought she would get scared with the loud sounds the cars make, plus she wouldn't enjoy it as much as Ethan sure did. She really enjoyed having all her grandparents attention!!! Second, we went to a friend's farm to see animals that neither one of our children have seen. Steve has a friend that he works with who works on his family's farm and has invited us to come see the new baby animals. It's been kinda cold and really crazy with everything. We finally got the time to take the kids out to the farm, but the baby animals weren't so little anymore. The kids really enjoyed spending some time with the animals, petting them, holding them, and just plain loving them! We had a little fun too, seeing the joy on their faces. We really would like to go back next spring (hopefully there will be a spring) when all the new little babies are born. Fingers crossed!!! The two cute ponies that were on the farm. Daddy trying to get Daisy to pet the puppy.

The chickens were a BIG hit. Once we got to them both kids went crazy!!! They wanted to pet and chase them around. Both of them tried to get into the chicken house!

Ethan made Gene (Steve's friend that was kind enough to invite us) carry him around cause he got tiered of walking. Ethan checking out the pigs. Daisy petting the nice horse. Ethan with a little puppy. We had a hard time getting him to let the puppy go back to it's mommy. A cute dog with two different colored eyes. They had really nice calm and loving dog there and we all wanted to take one home, but we don't have anywhere for the guy:( ! The BIGGEST pig on the farm (800 pounds!!) !
