White Fence Farm

Another "catch up" post from a few weeks ago... For "Pappy's" birthday, Grandmommy and Pappy took us to White Fence Farm. It's a sit down restaurant (think fried chicken, mashed potatoes, you get the picture) served family style, plus a little petting zoo, duck pond, and playground. Ty had the time of his life and I thought he was going to have a heart attack seeing the animals up close...

Petting the cow - he couldn't get enough of the cow.

Giving the goat a kiss...I'm sure that's completely sanitary.

We tried to get a little video of Tyson running around all excited about the animals. He was either "clucking" at the chickens nice and loud (that's what he's doing here), or running back to "moo" at the cow.



Cute little duck pond with fish and a footbridge. Pappy and Grandmommy are helping him feed the ducks on the far right.

He loved chasing the ducks around which was pretty funny to watch since they almost came up to his waist.

Riding the stationary (though you wouldn't know it from this picture) horse at the playground.

Not quite sure about these metal slides...we've only done plastic. Daddy got him to go down once or twice.

I showed him the balance beam, which he would not leave after he figured it out. He needed help but I was surprised how good his balance was and how he walked in a straight little line with his feet!

Aww little lamb.

Pappy and Grandmommy on the farm :)

Waving to everyone from the wagon we found on the way out.


We will definitely be going back since Ty LOVED the place. And besides, who doesn't like some good 'ol fried chicken once in a while!?

The Rock

I am so behind on blog posts!! Sorry to our regular followers :) We have had a very busy last few weeks so I'll have to play catch up and knock out some late ones.

Labor Day Weekend (yes, THAT behind) we decided that it was time we hiked "The Rock" since we live in the city of Castle Rock and the actual rock is about a 30 second drive from our house. It's a short little hike but we had fun breaking out the hiking backpack for Ty and getting out to enjoy the sunshine together! Tyson had a great time playing around with daddy when we got to the top. Next summer I think Ty will be able to hike it himself since we'll be carrying his sister in a backpack...







Second pregnancy I've decided it's just not as fun to post "bump" pictures for some reason, and I have failed miserably for those of you who have asked, so here is a picture at about 25 weeks.


More "catch up" posts to follow soon!
