Tuesday night when Shawn got home from work, I suggested we go to the Manheim Farm Days after seeing on a friend's facebook post that it was happening this week. He agreed, and away we went. The first stop was to grab some dinner there. And, who did we see working at the French Fries stand but Grandma Good! She seemed thrilled to see Shawn & the kiddos. :)
We ate dinner under the 'big tent' which Joshua loved, and then I splurged for funnel cake, which the Bean highly enjoyed. From there we went to check out the animals. The first part was the cows, where both kids 'mooed' to their new friends. Then a cow started to pee, and Joshua was horrified. He kept telling us that the cow didn't make it to the potty...haaaa!!!
Joshua rode in our stroller like a big boy, standing up...finally!!! I found this treasure cheap on Craig's List, thinking the Bean would enjoy being able to get in and out himself but for the longest time he only wanted to sit. Now he's enjoying standing, too.
The next area we came to was all the babies. We saw baby piggies getting their dinner from their mama, which I thought was one of the cutest things we saw that night. This picture doesn't even do it justice.
Then we saw a baby calf...
Followed by a baby Caleb... my poor little guy would have LOVED to have gotten down to run around and explore, but we kept him in the stroller for two reasons. One, he loves to touch everything and everything was dirty and not edible; and two (most importantly) the place was a zoo. There were sooo many people and it was bumper-to-bumper (or shoulder-to-shoulder) and Caleb likes to wander. So, rather than risk him getting stepped on or running off, we figured the stroller was a safer option.
Next Joshua got to pet the baby bunnies and see some chicks that had just hatched. He LOVED this area and said that the bunnies felt "NICE!"
We saw goats, pigs, sheep, more cows and tractors, etc. I think Joshua really enjoyed it.
But, as much as Joshua was having fun, Caleb was tired. And tired of sitting. I think he would have really liked it if he was given freedom to roam, but it wasn't really the time or place with how crowded it was.
Since it was their bedtime, we headed out. On the way to our car, we saw the decorated pumpkins (one of my personal favorite parts of this show), and the gigantic pumpkins, etc which was really impressive to Joshua. He couldn't get over how BIG the pumpkin was!
So, we enjoyed some unhealthy fair food and walking around as a fam before calling it a night since the Bean had preschool in the morning.
