Visit to the Farm

I decided this spring that I really wanted to take you up to the farm in Idaho.  I figured it might be a long time before conditions were that good again - you are old enough I can take you on these trips without bringing all kinds of baby gear, the weather was nice, and I wanted to take you before I got too close to my due date.  So we went up for a weekend with Grandpa and Aunt Ayisha.

To prep you for the trip I had told you Grandpa would take you on a tractor ride.  You were very interested in that idea but nothing could have prepared you for actually being able to sit on that big tractor!

A few minutes later your happiness reached an all time high when Grandpa turned on the tractor and took you for a little ride.  The whole rest of the weekend all we heard was "I wanna go on a tractor ride!"

Playing on Grandma Kings piano after you heard Grandpa playing it.

Grandma King has a big toyroom downstairs.  You played with a ton of different toys, but quickly decided your favorite was the box of metal cars and this car ramp.

This is the famous little chair at Grandma's house - all of the grandkids and greatgrandkids have pictures on it.  We have pictures of me around age 5 siting on it.

You and I bunked together on the trip and you did pretty well falling asleep quickly when it was bedtime.  I guess all that farm air wears you out.

This happened on the drive up - predictably, you refused to go potty at the rest station and instead 20 minutes later declared "I gotta go pee pee!" when we were in the middle of nowhere.  It was the one time I was glad that you are so willing to pee on the grass like a puppy because I don't know what else we would have done!
