The animals at the farm


On Monday, I met my college buddy Steph for a belated birthday lunch. Our birthday's are just a day (and a year) apart, so it is always fun to have a reason to get together. We had a wonderful lunch at Applebee's and then I figured that since I was so close to Thanksgiving Point, I would take the girls to The Farm to see all the animals. The Barnyard Boo didn't start until 4:00 and we got there at about 2:30. But I figured that if I didn't tell Amelia about the Barnyard Boo activities, she wouldn't know that she was missing anything. Right when we got there, Amelia spotted the ponies and wanted a ride. I was hoping that we could put that one activity in the middle of our visit, but she kept asking about it and so we went over for our ride. And I figured that since I had a ticket, Ashley may as well ride too. Luckily, there was a really little pony for her to ride but I was still really nervous that she was going to slip right off the horse. We had a great time walking around and seeing all the animals and then we went around again to feed them some corn. I tried to get Amelia to let the goats eat the corn right out of her hand but she preferred throwing it to them. I'm glad that the weather is staying warm for now so that we can enjoy a few more outside activities before the snow comes.

Happy Birthday Vicki! I've been feeling so guilty about all the September and October B-days I've missed because of my own. I hope you and Steph had a great lunch.

Your tummy is so cute! I'm glad your primary program went well. Ours is next week and I'm kind of relieved I don't have to do the planning part but can sit back and relax. I hope you are enjoying a little R&R!
