exact), and more corn products to eat than humanly possible. (Not true, actually. If there was a corn dog stand, then my day would have been perfect. But kettle corn and roasted corn on the cob definitely hit the spot for the time being).Anyway, it was one of the best days I’ve had in a long time. Jonah was in absolute heaven. Some of the highlights…
Like I said… There were tractors. And there was corn. $10 to the first person who can guess who had corn stuck in their teeth on this tractor….
Jonah walked around saying, “Mommy, why does the farm smell?” Well, the horses, goats, pigs and damp hay from all the rain may have had something to do with it. Or, could have been the massive trough of dried beans that for two tickets, children could sit in and sift through. Apparently beans are a magical fruit…
Our trip to the “country” was the first time we were taking this potty training gig on the road….
Though I appreciate “Farmer Jon” for equipping his Jon with a child seat, I wish the “Junior Jon” that went potty before us, would not have left a poo ball, yes a little poo ball, right on said child seat….
Ever try explaining to a potty training 3 year old with an insatiable curiosity for EVERYTHING that “honey, there’s poo on the seat, don’t touch anything… it’s okay, just go pee pee now… yes… poo… no, don’t touch… I don’t know why there’s poo, I don’t know who’s poo… please don’t touch… I don’t know why it doesn’t smell… please make pee pee….NOW!” Yah. Good times (and yes, that is my butt hanging out of my jeans. It was the least of my worries during what felt like a hostage standoff with a bomb about to explode. Pressure!)Finally, we ended the day with another treat… fresh smoothies. Nothing too terribly witty to add here. Just a couple of darling kids with their drinks. It was a great day at the farm– a fun Halloween/ Fall/ Country experience…
Of course, it might have been nice to leave with an actual pumpkin… DUH.
