Parky's Farm

The other thing we did during the Memorial Day weekend was visit Parky's Farm at Winton Woods.  I had never been there before and I wasn't sure what to expect.  They have this fun play barn with ball pits, slides that go from the hay loft to the first floor, huge tractor tires for climbing, and lots of other fun stuff.  I really enjoyed playing there especially after I learned that twisty slide from the hay loft to the first floor wasn't scary at all.  After playing in there we went to see the animals.  They have ponies, pigs, sheep, chickens, rabbits, and goats.  We even saw baby goats that were just two weeks old.  There was also a pony ride.  At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to ride, but Mom told me I should give it a try.  I am glad I did, because it was very fun.

Being silly!

He's just the right size.  I'll take him!

This past Memorial Day weekend we spent part of the holiday weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's.  We had a wonderful time celebrating Grandma's, Grandpa's, and Casey's birthdays.  The weather was beautiful and we made of the most of it by trying out Grandpa's new John Deere "tractor"  (ok, it's really just a riding mower, but since Grandma and Grandpa live on a farm we are going to call it a tractor.)

All of the Dad's and kids took turns riding the tractor.  Austin and Casey even drove it by themselves.  At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to get on it, so I sat on it with the engine off.  Once I did that, I was excited to go for a ride.  So Pops and I drove around the yard for a bit.  He even let me steer too.  Something tells me that every time we visit Grandma and Grandpa we might have to take tractor rides.

Here's Austin out for a spin!

OK, yeah I am ready to drive it!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Casey's turn!
