Fun On The Farm

Today, at the recommendation of one of my friends, we drove to Rocky Mount, Virginia for Farm Day! We had so much fun!

The toddler was super excited that he was going to pet some animals. On the drive down, he even asked me, "Mom, is this how you pet an animal?" So precious! :)

The baby was not quite as thrilled about Farm Day, but I'm sure he will be next year (ahem--next year, when Mommy remembers to bring sunscreen! Oops!).

We've seen LOTS of Daddy lately! Our hearts are so happy when he's around a lot! I was very glad that Daddy was around for Farm Day, because there were big crowds and lots of tractors!

We decided this will become an annual tradition, but that we will get there earlier and try to beat the crowds! Amid the crowds, the farm equipment, the shouting children, the farm animals, and the vendors selling yummy apple cider, homemade ice cream, and apple butter, I felt so happy to have my guys with me. I even ran into a couple people I knew--I said a quiet "thank you!" to Jesus, because it made me feel like I belonged in this part of the country--like I'm not quite the newby that I most certainly am. :)

Yay for Farm Day!
