Farm Fun

Growing up in Wisconsin, with a Dad who was a large animal veterinarian, I spent a lot of time visiting farms. I spent a lot of time with my dad on Saturday's while he was working which was fun. Erik LOVES tractors and has been learning a lot about farms at preschool this fall. He likes to remind me that cows eat grass and make milk.

For the past month, we have been trying to get out to Cox farms--a fall festival with lots of fun things to do. Three weekends in a row someone has had a high fever in our house so we have always had to cancel our trip to the farm.

Finally, we were all healthy so we spent the day there today. It wasn't like an authentic WI dairy farm but we had a great time and it was a lot less smelly!

I conquered the rope swing. Erik was excited about it at first
but decided to just watch mommy swing.Big and Little Slides


Our Friend Goat

Erik LOVED the goats. He would talk to them, pet them, run after them, try to lead them places. It was really cute! I think he thought the goats could stay with us the whole time. He was disappointed when they had to stay in their fenced in area.

The also had cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and sheep at this "farm." Erik has been obsessed with guitars and cellos for the past 2 months. This started after Uncle Mike brought his cello with him to our house for Hanna's wedding. It is cute. One day Erik was strumming his guitar and singing to himself while on the toilet. Erik was very excited to see a kids stage today.
