Fun On The Farm

This weekend we went to visit Grandma Smart on the farm in Rolla, Missouri. What fun, what fun!! What little boy wouldn't relish the chance to see cows, geese, chickens, barn cats, and more? He was mesmerized by the strange creatures and the funny noises they made.

Unfortunately, it rained most of the weekend so we had to spend a lot of time indoors. But Nicholas found plenty to keep him occupied.....mainly Grandma's walker! It works wonders for babies too if anyone was curious! But don't let the crutch fool you because he is quite capable of walking on his own. In fact, that was the main attraction for the adults. He can successfully make it across an entire room now.

Lucky for us we picked the weekend that Mike, Kathy, Jesse, and Kristen all host their annual pig roast! I've never personally witnessed an entire roasted pig and in case you haven't either, here ya go:

The food was delicious and the party was great! Kathy had all kinds of fun stuff for the kids to do, including a "sandbox" filled with corn instead of sand. NICHOLAS HAS NEVER LOVED ANYTHING MORE!! We had to keep a close eye on him to make sure he didn't eat the corn (he only required one finger sweep) but it was worth it to see him having the time of his life. We literally had to pry him away from it, screaming and all! I've never seen him protest so fervently.

He also got to check out the 4 wheelers!! Man, what an adventure!

A great time was had by all and we can't wait to do it again!
