Down on the Farm

Last Saturday one of the guys in John's practice invited us to come out to his farm with a couple of other families. We had the best time! Alex's eyes were opened to a whole new world of fish, cows, 4 wheelers and bobcats(the riding kind-not the wild animal:))
The pictures aren't in order so bear with me. Alex loved the 4 wheeler when I came riding up on it. He rode it with me and John, but then wouldn't ride it with just me when I wanted to take him around. He wanted to get off and said, "No, see daddy." Daddy was throwing football at the time so I guess that was more fun??:)

I think I got most of the kids that were out there. Alex loves being with older kids and interacting with them, but he really didn't even act like they were there until we went out to look at the cows, which was the last hour or so of our 4 hour trip. But then he started imitating them and following them around-see him looking at the girls.

He wouldn't touch the worm but he was interested in what it was.

We got Subway to take out there and Kathy(another mom) had like 40 hot dogs, not realizing we had bought our own food. And Jenna(another mom) bought a Chickfila party tray. There was a ton of food and Alex enjoyed it all! He ate this sandwich plus chicken, vanilla wafers, chips, etc. He was starved!

Fishing with dad.

"I fishin' momma!"

Checking out the crickets-but not touching them!

Looking at the fish-but not touching it!

John caught him a fish! But by this time he was over fishing. :(

Our picnic.

Looking at the cows with dad. Alex kept making the sign for more and saying "more cows." He loved just looking at them.

Following Janie and Emma. He was so funny...one of the girls said, "It's so hot" and put her hand up. Alex did the exact same thing and then walked off behind them. He is hilarious!

With the big kids.
