Message: Saturday morning we got up and got an early start to our day so we could go to Purina Farms! It was a first for both of the boys. We were supposed to have a date with Will and Carrie, but will was sick; we decided we'd go anyway since we'd never been as a family, and the last time I was there was for a field trip my first year teaching. We told Emmett we were going to a farm to see cows get milked and dogs and cats.
We went to see the cow milking right away when we got there, and because we went to see that, we missed the dog show while we were checking out all the stuff at the barn. Chris said it was poor scheduling on their part, of course after the milking the kids were going to want to look around the barn, thus missing the dog show. Oh well, we still had fun.
Garrison like leaning over the ledge to pet the different animals in the petting area. In this pen there were 2 piglets and a chicken. Emmett told, "momma, I'm too scared of that chicken to pet him."
But, both of the boys loved to pet the bunnies they had out.
Emmett and I went crawling through the tunnels in the hay loft, and Garrison had to come check it out too.
Garrison didn't quite understand that the corn was for playing with, not eating.
See little brother, this is what you do, you push it with these tractors!
I had forgotten all about the hayloft with the rope swings until we got up there. Lots of kids like them, we had to wait quite a while to get a turn, but when he finally got his chance, Emmett thought it was pretty cool and didn't want to leave!
