a Different farm

Yesterday, was Day on the Farm, and since Noah is used to going to Grandpa and Grandma's farm, we had to keep telling him we were going to a "different farm". He got to see all sorts of animals - kittens, dogs, a snake, several kinds of pigs, turkeys, cows, llamas, horses, goats, sheep, and more - I just can't remember them all anymore. He did not like most of the animals, but he wanted to ride a horse. He had a wonderful time playing in the tree house and exploring a new place.



There was a little tunnel made out of hay bales...I think Noah got to this halfway point, looked up at me, and then went out the way he came in never actually completing the course.



This poor mama pig looked tired at the beginning of the day and her little piglets were running around so fast. The piglets were just a few days old, but they sure were busy.



The barrel rides. Only little kids think that riding in a barrel, pulled by a 4-wheeler in a big circle in a pasture is fun enough to do over and over. :-)



The first time, Ben got to squeeze into a barrel too. After that, though, Noah was glad to go on his own.



Maynard (in the blue shirt) is a co-worker of mine at MCC and Day on the Farm happens at his farm. He's a very busy guy and he and his wife run a wonderful farm. He was trying to hold on to the little pig but it was squirming so much, it looks like a blur in my photo. Noah was not a fan of this fast moving, squealing, little pig.



Lunch was just up Noah's ally. A hot dog, chips, baked beans and water. He cleaned his plate and asked for more!
