On the Farm with Max

2012-11-19

Another fun week to tell you about - here we go!

On Monday Daddy was off because his work was closed for Veteran's Day. We went to a fun place that had lots of toys and a gym.

So I was eating...

And this girl came over and started taking my food. I said, "I'm not done yet."

Then she tried to take my milk!

I said "I'm not done with that!"

Two points for me!

Daddy, Duke, and I went to visit Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne on Friday. We went out to eat at Noodles.

Checking out the Noodles clientele.

On Saturday morning we went shopping and Grandpa Al bought me a new excavator toy. After lunch, we went to visit Great-grandma Darlene and cousin Max and Uncle Brad on the farm.

Let's go see the cows!

Baby calf!

One of the cows on the farm had a calf just two hours before we got there! And the baby was already walking! Wow!

Nice baby calf - don't be afraid.

What other mischief can we get into?

Playing in the pick-up!

Before we left the farm we went inside to see Max's room. He had some good books that I like Mommy and Daddy to read to me. Then we played with his toys.

I didn't make this mess.

Back at Great-grandma Darlene's house, we played with more toys and had supper. I ate at the table like everyone else and didn't fall off the chair or make a mess.

Most of Sunday I was at Grandma and Grandpa's house. After breakfast I found out that Grandpa and Daddy had a surprise for me...

Eating breakfast.

The living room was all filled up with a tent and a tunnel for me to crawl through!

Exploring my new tunnel.

It's my new excavator in the tunnel!

Later in the morning, Great-grandma Dorothy came over with Auntie Diane and Uncle Milton. They watched me play for a while. Daddy tried to get me to take a nap, but I refused. I wanted to show off and run around for my guests.

I need to borrow your cane, Great-grandma.

I'm hiding!

Grandpa Al doesn't quite fit in the tent.

I'm explaining the truck book to Great-grandma.

After lunch, Grandma Gail came over! And she brought me a balloon! With Elmo on it! How did she know I've always wanted a balloon?

Grandma Gail brought me an Elmo balloon!

Thanks, Grandma Gail!

After all that, we went home. I fell asleep in the car. When I got home I had some supper and Mommy let me try some manicotti. It was good. Then I had a bath and played for a bit and read a story and watched some Thomas the Train stories. And then I was over-tired and made a lot of noise before I went to sleep.

And that was my week. Next week I get to go to Great-grandma Joan and Great-grandpa Eldon's for Thanksgiving and then I get to stay with Auntie Kara and Uncle Josh at their house!

I hope everyone has a fun turkey day!
