Stephen took the day off of work for Emerson's birthday and we went down to Old Macdonald's Farm. It was a beautiful day outside and we had a lot of fun together as a family.
Emerson is really into animals like horses and cows right now. That could be because we live out in the country and every time we drive into town we pass a lot of fields with farm animals in them. He was so excited to go around and look at all the animals close up. (I think he looks so cute in that hat.)
They had lots of fun things to do besides looking at the animals. They had a old water pump that you could pump out water with and it made this big wheel turn. They also had lots of tractors around the farm. Tractors are Emerson's other favorite thing right now. They had a fun little play area that we played in that had some 'diggers' that you could play with and all the slides looked like different tractors.
We found a rope swing that was a lot of fun and lots of playgrounds to play on.
After eating some lunch, we went around and fed some of the animals. They had these little designated feeding areas that you could put the food in. A lot of the animals were very anxious to get some food. Emerson really like feeding the animals.
We also went of a couple rides and went down a fun inflatable slide. Both the boys really enjoyed the slide. The second time Stephen took Canyon, he was smiling and laughing before they even started sliding. The ball zone was a lot of fun too. They had these machines that shot out balls and other ones that made the balls float in the air. Canyon was very determined to catch one of these balls.
We had a really nice outing together as a family. We are very grateful that Stephen is in a position to take time off for special days like these so that we can have fun together as a family.
