Farm days

NC State has an event called Farm Days each spring. They display lots of farm animals...including baby chicks and rabbits, and let the kids pet and hold lots of them! Plus, tractors to climb on and ice cream. What more could we want?

They boys loved it yesterday, though they could not quite understand why they needed to stand in line for 20 minutes to sit on a tractor....I guess once you have played freely on heavy construction machinery it doesn't quite make sense.

That said, they did great with the crowds and lines. I was proud of all of all 3!

I think it helped that we went with my friend Ginger and her kids.   Calvin liked climbing on the tractor wheels with Makayla (7) and Declan (5).  I think their influence helped a lot with helping Calvin and Jack be patient.  

We were all flithy after the dust, chick-holding, etc. Could not wait to give Jack a bath....

Luke enjoyed the ice cream and the ride in the carrier! Sweet buddy!

  1. This post gave me a flashback to that time we waited in line for over an hour in the scorching hot sun with two babies just to get a hamburger from that truck.

  2. So happy to see the boys are visiting and learning about farm life and animals. Did Cal see any bunny rabbits that looked like Cotton? Love to all and hugs!
