Fox Hollow Farm

We've been trying to incorporate new activities into our weekend routine, as well as ensure Jackson is getting lots of fun, quality time with us before Baby #2 arrives.

This past weekend, we headed to Fox Hollow Farm and had a blast.  Mommy may have been a bit more excited than J about some of the animals you don't get to see every day - I loved the baby goats, the mini horses and the baby pigs, whereas Jackson was most impressed by the kitty cats and the bunnies.  He also loved climbing up the stairs in the play houses and then sliding down each slide.  One slide was so fast, he flew several feet through the air at the end of it, landing right on his butt, startling all of us. Good thing he still has a diaper butt.

He was a little afraid of the train - it took some coaxing, and both of us riding with him to get him to ride, and then halfway through the ride, he asked for a "big hug" and then laid in my lap for the rest of the trip.

We couldn't get him on the bouncy toys, but hopefully next time.

While I knew he had fun, he was much more enthusiastic about the experience when talking to Gramma Linda and Gramma Joan on the phone.  He was literally shaking and shrieking with excitement as he told them about all the animals he got to pet, and the train he got to ride.

As long as he has good memories about our trip, I'm happy.

"Horsies!"


How cute are they?!

 Trains are very scary...

We had to come back to see this guy several times.


I realized after seeing all these pictures, he has perfected the "squat" - he's squatting like this in almost every photo.
