Farm Trip

We made a quick trip to the farm this weekend to see Jason's parents.  It's only a 3 hour drive, but we hadn't been there in a year!   Now Will is the perfect age to enjoy all sorts of small town and farm fun!  When we got there on Friday night, Will read Jason and me "The Little Red Caboose" while we were unpacking our bags.  He knows the words to the entire book! 

Saturday was (hopefully) the last day of this horrible heat wave.  With the temperature over 100, we didn't play outside too long.  We borrowed the horses' pool for ourselves!  Buddy likes drinking from the water hose just as much as Rachel does.   

After a trip to the art store and the farmer's market, we went to Mr. Happy Burger for lunch.  This place was awesome!  It had burgers, hot dogs, a pizza and salad buffet AND an ice cream counter.   Oh, and I can't believe I forgot to mention the Coca-Cola knick-knacks on display and the trains circling the room.  Little boy heaven!

Back at the farm, Will watched the horses and donkey eat and then got distracted by Grandpa Ed's tractor and riding lawn mower.    He sat on each for a test drive.  The real fun came today, though, when Grandpa took him for a tractor drive! 

After a fun-filled and hot day, Will crashed after dinner (with a little help from Thomas video on Grandma's Kindle).  We let him sleep here for awhile so we could play Apples-to-Apples.  Such a fun weekend!
