Serendipitous

Yesterday was glorious. Adam had the day off since he worked extra hours during the week this week. It has been raining for ever and ever, then yesterday we finally got the perfect day. Of course, we had to take advantage of the day's glory since the rain was scheduled to return yet again today. So we packed a lunch with intentions of having a picnic at Murray park. Fate stepped in and led us back to Wheeler Farm instead. Last time was fun, but yesterday was way better. Firstly, Jack was feeling 100% better with no traces of any viral infections. Secondly, they were having a special extravaganza so we got to see lots of cooler things this time.

First, we got to see the Chick-fil-A cow. He gave us coupons for free food and posed for a picture with us.

Jack knows that something is up with this whole giant moving stuffed animal thing. He couldn't take his eyes off of him just like when he met the owl.

Then we got to see real live ponies up close! Jack loved them. One of them sniffed his toes with his big nose and Jack giggled at it a lot. 

Next we got to feed Nomi, the goat.

And we got to pet this big, furry goat. He was baa-ing at us a lot. 

And there was a little, tiny baby goat! I loved him. He was climbing all over his mom. See him standing on her? We told her that we could relate. Our baby likes to climb too.

Jack even got to drive a tractor. :)

Other fun things we did, but didn't get pictures of include: watching a sheep get sheared, moo-ing at a cow, watching a seagull swim around pretending to be a duck, and listening to a rooster cockle doodle doo a bunch of times. This was probably Jack's favorite part of the whole outing. His whole body would shake with excitement when the rooster crowed.

To round out the day's perfection, Adam and I got to go on a date yesterday evening. We left Jack with my mom and dad. Then we headed to the nickel-cade to play arcade games and act like teenagers. We won a bunch of tickets and, of course, spent them on toys for Jack and chocolate for me.
